Is it an error in my code ?

I'm actually following the "how to make a website" courses, and I have a problem at this step :

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

If I code in "main.css" file, nothing change. So I think that I have an error in my code on my "index.html" page.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Florian D • Webdesigner</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">

Hi Florian,

Do you save your file before refreshing the web page? I can't seem to find any error in your css linking, if you could provide a snapshot of your workspace, that could help us a lot.

To give us a snapshot of your project, do the following:

Hi Michael !

Thank you for your answer.

I always save before refresh. I never had any problems before, and my code looks correct. It's why I don't understand..

Hi Florain,

Your error is your file structure, you should try and avoid naming things with capitals. Check where your css is located and what is the folder name. :) Hope this helps.
