In my css, the background color doesn't change despite typing the necessary codes?

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Apartment 6B | Designer Bags</title> <link rel="spreadsheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link rel="spreadsheet" href="css/main.css"> </head> <body> <header> <a href="index.html"> <h1>Apartment 6B</h1> <h2>Designer Bags</h2> </a> <nav> <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> </nav> </header> </body> <div id="wrapper"> <section> <ul> <li><a src="index.html"><img src="img/Apartment-01.jpg" atl=""></a></li> <p>Grey Bag</p> <li><a src="index.html"><img src="img/Apartment-02.jpg" atl=""></a></li> <p>Red Bag</p> <li><a src="index.html"><img src="img/Apartment-03.jpg" atl=""></a></li> <p>Red and Black Bag</p> </ul> </section> <footer> <li><a href="https://facebook.com/beatot24?fref=ts"><img src="img/facebook.png" alt="Facebook logo"></a></li> <li><a href="https://twitter.com/beabaysa"><img src="img/twitter.png" alt="Twitter logo"></a></li> <p>© 2014 Apartment 6B</p> </footer> </div>
</html>

I've also created a file name main.css and placed it in the css folder. Moreover, I've also made a css rule:

body { background-color: orange; }

So what's wrong?

In your link tags you're making their rel spreadsheet. It should be stylesheet. Also, you end your body tag after ending your header tag when you should be ending your body right at the end of the file before ending the html tag. The end of your page should look like this:

      </footer>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

You also don't have a starting html tag which should come right after the DOCTYPE:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
