please ignore the codes above.i linked and imported the style sheet below. the texts, layouts and fonts were changed, but with no colours.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Adding CSS</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
    <style type="text/css">
      @import  'css/more-styles.css';
    </style>

I don't really understand your question or your code. So I am just going to post a basic markup of an html file linking a css file.

<!DOCTYPE html> <!-- html5 document type --> <html> <head>
<meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

    <title>Template</title>


    <link href="./style.css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen"> <!-- linking a style sheet Note: make another file called style.css and put it where your html file is-->

</head>

<body>

    <!-- example of adding script in<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script> -->

</body>

</html>
