I and using the <link> tag to call in a normalize.css file and it doesn't work even though my code is exactly like that taught in the lesson.

Below is the relevant code and as you can see I am using the link tag right below the title tag and have include all needed attributes with. I figure this out. Every time i check the code it says that I have misspelled "css/normalize.css" or that I am not using the rel tag to ID this as a style sheet.

link rel:"stylesheet" type:"text/css" href:"css/normalize.css" media:"screen"

Make sure that you are surrounding your link with the '<' and '>' and change your colons to '='. HTML uses '=' not ':'.

Okay, your code should be like this,

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css" type="text/css" media="screen"> the href depends on where your normalize file is located.

If you are sure about your path and syntax, then please try by clearing the cash, you could do that in tow ways, a hard refresh (Win: ctrl+shift+R / ctrl +R --- Mac : Command+R )

Or you can go to Settings -> Privacy -> Clear browsing data -> There you can check the cash and clear it (Using Chrome).

Hope this will help.
