You might want to review one or more videos as a refresher.

But a few hints:

  • no code should ever be added before the DOCTYPE tag
  • the code shown above in the "style.css" tab is HTML code and should not be there
  • the additions to the "index.html" tab are not HTML syntax
  • see the "rel" and "href" attributes in the "link" tags as examples of attribute syntax
