Issues with linking normalize.css reset with my index.html page

I am having problems linking the noumalize.css reset template i downloaded with my index.html page. I have followed the steps the instructor outlined to no avail. I used the link element in the following snippet '''html <link rel = "stylesheet" type = "text/css" href = "css/normalize.css"> ''' The first css in the href value is the folder i placed the reset. i have other css stylesheets in it all of which are working flawlessly.

Hi Brian

Not sure that I understood your question correctly but all give it a try.

First of is your folder structure laid out like:

project
    index.html
    css(folder)
        normalize.css
        main.css

If this is the case you should be able to just link to your CSS sheets within the <head> tag as follows:

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

One important note is that you need to place your normalized.css in the top of the CSS stack. In order to be able to overwrite properties within your main.css sheet.

Hope it will work out.
