CSS

Main CSS wont make any changes to the page, checked, double checked, dont see the what seems to be the problem

Hello everyone, so I just started watching CSS: Cascading Style Sheets classes, and so when I tried to include the main.css file to the webpage, I did every single thing with as much atenttion as I could but for some reason it the HTML isnt loading the CSS file, and i'm trying to figure out why..

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title> Leo | Web Developer </title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css"> </head> <body> <header> <a href="index.html"> <h1> The monstrosity </h1> <h2> is here</h2> </a> <nav> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About></a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact></a></li> </ul> </nav> </header> <section> <ul> <li> <a href="img/anime3.jpg"> <img src="img/anime3.jpg" alt=""> <p> Weird eye </p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/warcraft2.jpg"> <img src="img/warcraft2.jpg" alt=""> <p>A deathknight has cold bold, literally</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/anime4.jpg"> <img src="img/anime4.jpg" alt=""> <p>BLUE FREAKING HAIR</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/warcraft1.jpg"> <img src="img/warcraft1.jpg" alt=""> <p>My blade be thirsty</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/warcraft3.jpg"> <img src="img/warcraft3.jpg" alt=""> <p>Woof woof</p> </a> </li> </ul> <p> This site is under construction</p> </section> <footer> <a href="https://twitter.com/leonardomisfits"> <img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt "Twitter logo"> </a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/an4rhy"> <img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt "Facebook logo"></a> <p>©2015 The Bad Mother Fucker</p> </footer> </body> </html>

My main.css file is located in the css folder this is its content: a { text-decoration: none; }

and heres the page link http://port-80-69rt2glvri.treehouse-app.com/

one strange thing is that it actually loads the normalize.css file...

Try saving your workspace and refreshing the page with Ctrl+Shift+R to clear the cache.

Hi,

your main.css is actually loading. This is why for example your links are not underlined. What result are you expecting?

Cheers, Shezan

Strange, for me the links are underlined.....

Are you sure they are not underlined there? o.O this is reaaally strange

Oh, ok CTRL+Shift+R did it!

able to see ur links are not "underlined". The property is working

Glad to have helped!
