did you check if your main.css is placed in the correct folder? because your code seems okay. if your main.css is in the same folder as the index.html, then it wont link correctly

Create a code block when you need to show multiple lines of HTML, CSS, Ruby, Java or other code. To create a code block:

Hit return twice -- this creates a new line and adds a space between the code block and any text above it. (It's important to make sure you have an empty line above and below your code block, or else the code formatting doesn't always work.)

Type three back tick characters: ```

Hit return to create another new line and paste or type your HTML, CSS or other code.

Hit return and add three more back tick characters: ```

Hit return again to create an empty space below the code block.

I tried your code with a main.css in the css folder. It works. I guess it's something with your css file or code. Maybe you forgot a semicolon or curly brackets?

i bet it's either because you didn't mention the type

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

or the path is wrong Shadrach Thomas
