I am trying to build a website using html and css. I can't seem to get the html and css documents to link together.

<!DOCUTYPE> <html lang-"en"> <html> <head> <title>Learning a New Skill</title> <link href="backgound.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

<body>

<h1>New Skills</h1>

<h2>Written with some struggle moments by Chantrice</h2>

<h3>My Laptop, GA</h3>

<p>Learning a new skill is difficult. Coding is a very challenging field of study. </p>

</body>

</head>

</html>

Try correcting your code to this

<!DOCTYPE html> <head> <title>Learning a New Skill</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="background.css"> </head>

<body>

<h1>New Skills</h1>

<h2>Written with some struggle moments by Chantrice</h2>

</html>

I just retyped the entire page and it still will only show the html. I am going to go back over how to build the css file. I think the error might be in there. Thank you for all your help.

Try using <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="background.css">. is your css file in a folder or in root folder ?

Thank you for the response. I have use that line multiple times. How do I know if my css is saved inside my root folder?
