Is there a video segment or instruction of any sort for making sure your files are set up right for linking your html to your stylesheet. I am working on the 'Smells like bakin' site and just can't seem to make grid,css or normalize.css link. I've already had some one look at my html code and it's exactly like the project index file. Anyone have suggestions on where I should look now?

Project Files - Unzip Project Files
- Read about how to organize your files
- Read about how file paths work
- Find the
grid.cssfile in the directory you created when you unzipped theproject files - Move the
grid.cssfile to your CSS directory like you learned about in step 3 -
Link your the CSS file to your HTML using the
<link>tag remembering what you learned about paths

11,167 PointsYeah, apologies for not going ahead and posting my code but I haven't had access to all my stuff until now. I just basically deleted everything and started with a clean slate as far as my folder structure, and now I believe it's working correctly. Thank you all for for jumping right in and helping me so quickly! James, just fyi, those links you posted about organizing files and file paths don't work. And I just can't remember them covering much of anything about moving the files into my directory. All I recall is them saying to go ahead and download the project files. I'll have to do some reviewing. for sure. Thanks, again!
