Hi Claire,

By default on a Mac if you open a CSS file then it will try and open it using Safari.

I assume that you are trying to follow along with the video and add the normalize.css file to the workspace. What I did was to download the project zip file to my Mac. Then unzip it and open the css folder. Then I could select the normalize.css file and drag & drop it into the upload area in the bottom left of the workspace.

You should be able to drag the file around without opening it.

Does that help ?

That's how .css items default open on a Mac, so I would just copy and paste the CSS into a new file you create in Workspaces, then paste the code straight into the document.

Hi ibrahim,

Basically you get invited by the treehouse community managers. The mods are just other treehouse students who spend time on the community pages helping people.

I've always found that spending time on the community forum is a good way to improve my own learning whilst at the same time helping out others.

Just get involved, answer other users questions and have some fun. Then you might get an invited too.
