The first link that Ralf has in his post will open a page where you will be able to copy and past its content into a new file that you will need to make in your text editor, call the new file 'normalize.css' and save it to your css folder in your project.

1) Go to: http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/3.0.0/normalize.css , right click the mouse, click "Save As" and choose the download location ({folder} for example). 2) If you are in a folder called {folder} and there are files index.html and normalize.css you put

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

in to the < head> tag

PS remove the space between < and link

Some other people just starting out have had similar issues so they made this Treehouse Quick Tip video on using normalize.css

the css version here: http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/ the scss version here: https://github.com/JohnAlbin/normalize-scss or dl via bower. and then place it at the beginning of you css file or if you are using scss import it as a partial at the first place.

when you say css file .. do you mean create a file and call it css. or am i copy and pasting it in my text editor.???? they don't ex-plane how to do this vary well.

oh ok great. wow they need to say that in the videos. thank you!!!!
