Issues linking my CSS to my HTML

I have followed the same outline when linking my HTML with my CSS and never had issues but right now they are not linking up for some reason. I have attached my code below. What am I doing wrong for it to not link up? http://codepen.io/Johned22/pen/KgAqJB Thanks in advance

Pretty sure you cannot use that method to add external stylesheets in codepen. I think you have to add you external stylesheet links in the css settings panel...

Also, You don't need a DOCTYPE or HEAD in CodePen.

:point_right: Actually, you can add stylesheets that way in CodePen.

But — the URL must be fully qualified. Just a filename would refer to a file on the local machine, but in this case the "local" machine is at CodePen, and how would you upload the file to it? But a full URL of a file hosted on another server is fine, just as you did for your fonts.
