236 Pointslink css to htlm
I have searched throughout the forum and external sources and have not been able to find the answer to what I'm doing wrong. I am trying to link both normalize.css and my main.css.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title> Kelsey </title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</head>
<body>
<header>
<a href="index.html">
css file looks like this
body {
background-color: orange;
}

Try formatting your code like mine below:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title> Kelsey </title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
</head>
<body>
<header>
<a href="index.html">Home</a>
</header>
</body>
</html>
You don't have a closing body tag, closing header tag, or a closing HTML tag.
Hope this helps! :)

236 PointsI have a closing header and body tag they are just later in my code I only copied the first section
