Did you make certain that you've added the link tag to the header of your index.html file? Did you verify all the spelling, and that the path you used in your link tag is correct? Are you positive that you're loading the correct index.html file (i.e. If you have the project copied into two places, are you positive you're viewing your working version)?

6,013 Pointsmake sure in your head section you have your html layed out as
link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
in front of the word link include <
Aslo make sure the html is not in the same folder as the css but in the same location e.g a folder called website in side the folder have index.html then a folder called css and a saved file as main.css

Thank you for helping me Erik, your help was appreciated. I have fixed the problem, I think it was a bug in workspaces. Since I retyped the charset="utf-8", retyped the same exact phrase. charset="utf-8". Suddenly the main.css file was connected to the index.html. Thank you once again for helping me. :)
