Hey Shakeno,

I think the problem is that all of your HTML files are in the directory "index.html". However you're specifying the path to your css files like "css/main.css". This only works if the css folder is in the same directory like the HTML files. If you keep this folder structure you have to move one directory back like this: "../css/main.css". Another possibility would be to move all of your HTML files outside of the "index.html" folder into the root directory.

I hope that helps! :)
