I just noticed that normalize.css had become main.css.How can I fix this without messing up the course flow?

I was following this course along (I thought) and just noticed that normalize.css had become main.css. They don't seem to be the same file that was renamed. How can I fix this without messing up the course flow?

Just download normalize.css from the latest video and drop it in your folder and make proper link

You should be able to remain main.css into normalize.css by right-clicking on the icon, and select the rename selection. Becareful to not change the extension .css I assume that the normalize.css would be under the "css" subfolder in your project.

so after you have changed the name into "normalize.css" make sure to go into your index.html file in your main project file and check to see you code for including the css file 

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">

Hi Martin,

Eventually you have both. Maybe you're at that point?

main.css contains all the custom styles you'll be adding to the site. It's going to be linked to your html after normalize.css

I'm not sure if that caused the confusion or if you actually renamed your normalize.css

Thank you for your quick response! I didn't rename anything. Not sure how this particular snafu occurred. " Eventually you have both. Maybe you're at that point?" Must be at that point. This is why I prefer a live class as opposed to online learning.
