My HTML is showing up in my workspaces but my CSS is not changing the website at all.

Hey Guys, I just finished up by basic HTML and CSS courses, and i wanted to try and see what I could do and start practicing as they suggested. I started making a website for my friends band. Everything I typed in HTML appeared on the website, but my CSS commands were not altering anything. Can you take a look at it and telling me what I am doing rong? I'm sure it's staring me right in the face...

Thanks a lot!

Hi there! You're doing just fine. I can't see anything wrong with your CSS. That being said, you never actually linked your CSS to your HTML so it's not loading the CSS at all.

You need:

<head>
    <title>UNTEACHERS</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">  <!-- this line tells it to use your CSS -->
</head>

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Common mistake, you forgot to link up your external CSS file.

  <head>
    <title>UNTEACHERS</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
  </head>
