1,441 PointsHow to Make a Website: Why are my CSS commands changing my About page instead of my Portfolio page?
I must have made some error early on that keeps messing me up now. But I'm not sure if that's because of my HTML or my CSS work (or both?) Here is my index.HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>

7,575 PointsNo problem. Two more tips:
You can sort of mentally track where something breaks and examine that. You can also let the computer do it - most browsers you can right-click and select "Inspect element" and it will show the HTML and CSS properties being applied to that element. So if you'd inspected this, you'd see that it wasn't applying the color. Then you can track down and troubleshoot just that tag.
