You actually need to link the external CSS script to your HTML file.

You do this by writing the link into your HTML head section like this:

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

Hope this helps

You need a link tag.

link rel = "stylesheet" href = "location of your file for example css/style.css "
