My css doesn't seem to be working in the footer. I have checked and don't see any errors but I feel something is wrong.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Ross Cessna | Practice</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css>
    <style>
      footer {
color: white;
background-color: orange;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
     <a href="index.html">
      <h1>Ross Cessna</h1>

Hi, Ross. I've edited your code so that it appears properly in your question. As to why you're not seeing the footer styles applied, it's because you've forgotten to close the double quotes from the previous tag. You have this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css>

but it should be this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
