Div ID wrapper, CSS not taking it

Hello,

My CSS file is not being picked up by the HTML. I have added each part of the code along with the video and at the lesson for background-color: orange; it would not work.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>JS | Designer</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
        <link rel="main" href="css/main.css">
  </head>
  <body>
      <header>
          <a href ="index.html">
              <h1>Jakub Slon</h1>
              <h2>Web Dev</h2>
          </a>
        <nav>
          <ul>
            <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li> 
            <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
            <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
          </ul>
        </nav>
      </header>
            <div>
            <div id="wrapper">
               <section>
                <ul>

This part of your code here:

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

Is not correct. The relationship to the file linked is a stylesheet. Change the rel attribute's value to "stylesheet" Like this:

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

Hope this helps! Cheers
