I am not able to make my website reset.

I have done everything in the video and my code looks exactly like his but my website will not reset or grid properly. 

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/grid.css" type="text/css" media="screen">

How to add normalize.css:

  1. Go to normalize.css repo on github
  2. Click the big green download button
  3. Save the file to your desktop
  4. Move the normalize.css file in your sublime text project folder
  5. Create a link element that references css/normalize.css

The <link> tag, works the same way as an <a> by using the href attribute.

Note: These directions assume that all of your CSS files are in a folder named css.

If you followed the above steps and you are still having issues, it's probably an issue with the file path. Here's a quick primer of paths that should get you going.

Have you downloaded the normalize.css file from github? If you haven't included it in your project folder or linked to a CDN directly, then that might explain why your page hasn't reset.

Also, do you have an example of your .html file that you could share? It might help us figure out if you're having any issues with your <link></link> tag...

Best,
