Try: 

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

Your code is missing this line:

type="text/css"

Won't help at all. The browser will detect that by itself.

If not, then he has to make sure his CSS is in the proper directory.

Are you linking to them from the same folder that the css folder is in or from a different folder?

Is your CSS file in the CSS folder?

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

is digging in to the a folder named css in the main directory.

Maybe you made the folder and the file but they are saved in separate places?
