browsers generally cache css files to increase performance. If you want it to clear every time you could use a cache buster, you can do this with php, js or sass (for bg imgs). If you just want to clear the cache for working on your local computer you can just modify your browser settings.

Your first link has a typo, scr should be src

Are you doing anything to prevent caching?

I found the following script on another Treehouse forum, and it fixed the problem for me. <script> document.querySelector("img").src += "?nocache=" +Math.random();</script>
