Hello, I've been working on How to make a website and when i got to CSS everything was fine until i had to link main.css to index.html. Can anyone help me, I've tried almost everything and don't know what's wrong. Here's my code.
<head>
< meta charset="utf-8" >
< title>Daniel Gonzalez | Designer</title >
< link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css" >
< link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css" >
</head>

Treehouse Guest TeacherHello Daniel,
Thanks for posting your code! Linking CSS should follow this form.
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css">
</head>
As obvious as it may be, make sure that the href is correct and that your HTML is relative to the CSS folder. In this case, your HTML file should be located in the same directory as the CSS folder. Otherwise, you're HTML file will look for the CSS folder but not be able to find it.
I hope this helps.
