1,384 PointsMain.css not applying, even from downloaded project files.
The main.css file does not seem to be applying. I doubled check my syntax/spelling to see what I might be doing wrong but could not find the error. I then tried downloading the project files, deleting the existing index.html and main.css files from the workspace, and uploading the files that I had just downloaded from treehouse. The css styling still does not take affect. I'm currently running in Chrome. Is there a know issue?

1,384 PointsSo I've pasted the code below. My first thought was that I made a path error but after troubleshooting for a bit I tried deleting my index.html and main.css files and replacing them with the files downloaded in the project files zip but this had no effect. The css still isn't applying.
