External Style Sheets

Hi I am on the external style sheets lesson of the front end web development track, but my CSS does not affect them html when I preview it in the browser. I seem to remember having this issue on some of the other lessons too. I am 99% certain I have not made any silly mistakes.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header>
      <span>Journey through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1>Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>
    <p>
      Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.

  </body>
</html>

body{
    text-align: center;
}

h1 {
    font-size: 72px;
    color: white;
}

header {
    background-color: orange;

}

p {
    font-size: 20px;
}

I don't see anything that sticks out as being wrong in your code above. So, my first thought would be to double check the path to your css file. Is the folder you have the file in named css or CSS? Or is the file name capitalized in some way?

Its working now, thanks. I think it's just slow to respond sometimes.
