Hi there! First, your html page is named Untitled.html. This should be changed to index.html Secondly, you have this line:

<link rel="stylesheet"  href="css/main.css">

This refers to a main.css inside a folder named "css". However, there is no css folder in your file/directory structure. My recommendation is to make a new folder named "css". Note: this is case sensitive. Do not make a folder named CSS or Css or any variation :smiley: Then move the css file into that folder. Save and refresh your page. Then try making your changes :thumbsup:

I am so sorry, the thing is that I am writing my code in Sublime and I copy the code. So the code is correct :) ...Just I can´t reduce the height of the background at the footer.

Douglas Rojas Unfortunately, I'm unable to troubleshoot that since I can't see your code on your local machine. All I can tell you is that the code on the workspace that you linked is not correct as the css file it's linked to is not in the directory specified. My opinion is that your local file/directory structure may also be incorrect which is causing the css file to not load in and thus your changes aren't being displayed.
