my CSS file does not have any change on the index or carbonara file?

Here is my fork workspace: https://teamtreehouse.com/workspaces/42268301#fork

Also my carbonara file seems to link to the index page, not to its own content. I can only see its content from the link in the index page.

Unfortunately that link is not working for me. Maybe refer back to this video on creating a snapshot of your workspace to make sure it was done correctly. By

Also my carbonara file seems to link to the index page, not to its own content.

Do you mean when clicking the Eyeball Preview button? If so, clicking this button will look for and automatically launch an index.html file, even if your carbonara.html is open in the text editor below 👍

Thank you, Travis, sorry that link does not work. How about this one (snapshot version)? https://w.trhou.se/e5p68wjy7a or this one (fork snapshot version)? https://teamtreehouse.com/workspaces/e5p68wjy7a/fork

RE: carbonara.html file when I click on the eyeball preview button, it shows me the index page content, not the content for the recipe.

The CSS file is not being used because the value for the rel keyword in the link tag is set to "stylessheet" (with an extra "s") instead of "stylesheet". This issue is the same in both HTML files.

The links seem correct to me, each file links to the other one. I don't think either file is supposed to link to itself.

Thank you, Steven. The extra 's' is the culprit. That was the fix.

I am not quite sure what to make of the carbonara.html file. Isn't that file supposed to open a page showing its contents using the 'eyeball' view?
