Main.css not making changes to index.html

I followed the video and have the exact script for css but the background did not turn orange and the underlines did not go away.

Please dis-regard. I had the css folder in caps instead of lowercase to match the script.

Hi Trish, your files structure and code should look like this.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit | Designer</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
...

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
  padding: 0 5%;
  background: orange;
}
