.css pages are not working

I am following along with the lessons taught by Nick Pettit and the two css pages that i have linked are not working.

I have them linked like this

<link rel="stylesheet" href="normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">

I have the pages saved in my file tree and am using the program provided.

Hi Kaitlyn,

I've edited your post so that your code will show. Check out the Markdown Cheatsheet shown on this page on how to do this.

From what I remember, Nick has you drop the CSS files into a folder called CSS. If this is the case, you can link to your CSS files this way -

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">

Could be a simple typo IMO. Check the spelling and directory path.

And paste your code so we can help you further.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">

you have to specify the path. If you are linking the file in your index.html and you have your .css file in a folder you have to add the folder name.

"folder_name/nameOfTheCssFile.css"
