main.css and font links no longer working

I was working on the How to Build a Webpage project yesterday, everything was saved and looking good. I got up today and opened up my workspace, didn't change anything, and now my main.css file isn't linking. normalize.css appears to be linked, but my font and main.css links are no longer linking.

I have index.html on its own, not in a folder. main.css and normalize.css are both in a folder named css. I don't know what happened! Any help would be much appreciated.

This is how my code appears in index.html:

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Amanda Wagner | Craft Aficionado</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
  </head>

so the main.css file is still there, just the index.html file isn't seeing it any more?
-Try restarting your browser

Yes, the main.css file is there, I've tried exiting and relaunching my workspace but it still isn't working.

Sorry the coding didn't post before, I'll try posting it again, I removed the opening head tag.

<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Amanda Wagner | Craft Aficionado</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400italic,700italic,400,700,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">

</head>

And here's a link to my workspace:

Nevermind everyone, I got it. There was one tiny error, of course, holding everything back. Thanks!

Make sure you define that main.css is in css folder, Try (<)link href="css/main.css rel="stylesheet"(>) For some reason code doesn't show up in the answers, I put the brackets in parentheses, just ignore the parentheses
