Grid container not working?

Okay so when I "use" the grid container it doesn't center my web page why? My code is as follows I think there may be a limit to the amount of code I can post so I'll just have the head just assume the end has the </div> and everything else is working. Here's my code: <strong> <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Smells Like Bakin' Cupcake Company</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css" type="text/css" media="screen"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/grid.css" type="text/css" media="screen"> </head> </strong

You copy and paste all of your HTML code in that section where it says HTML. Just note that you don't need DOCTYPE in codepen.

Hi Ollie,

We need to see the css code. Also, I don't see any class or id of grid or container in your html.

It seems to work for me. Are you sure that you have the grid file in the right place, Inside the css folder?

Because in your codepen everything is centered.

Yeah. That's really weird it is in css though.
