In one video it gives a link to a site that offers normalize.css as part of a downloadable package. Does anyone know that site?

You can download, or you could search for a CDN of it, such as from Google, that you can simply paste into your header:

<link rel="stylesheet" src="//normalize-css.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/normalize.css" />

That's what http://cdnjs.com/ is for

You can download normalize.css from the 'project files' zip file at "http://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-make-a-website/creating-html-content/include-external-css". Is that what you're looking for?

Yes! Thank you!
