882 PointsI set an id to a <div id="a"> and on my CSS, I typed '#a' to style it. When I try to style it doesn't change.
Here is my html:

Here is my CSS:
a { text-decoration: none; }
wrapper { max-width: 940px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0 5%; background: blue; }
logo { text-align: center; margin: 0; }
NOTE: I am following the "Make A Website" course. Also the 'wrapper' and 'logo' have a # before them.
Collin Bugash
882 PointsYes, I only added 'a' as a placeholder, and sadly closing the paragraph did not help.

26,312 Pointsthe css you gave doesn't have the id selector for the "a" place marker. the #.
Collin Bugash
882 PointsI was confused at your last comment, the 'a' I put in the question was just an example, the actual id's I used were 'logo' and 'wrapper'. I put a note at the end stating there was a '#' before them.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 36,756 Pointscheck your link href filepath:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css" type="text/css">
Which css file are you putting this in and is it linked correctly?

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 36,756 Pointsa#logo {text-decoration:none;}
where a is the html tag and #logo is the id
Collin Bugash
882 PointsThis does not seem to help the issue, could there be a bug with the workshop?

26,312 PointsI didn't see your div with the id "a". but I did see one of your p's doesn't have a closer .
