Smells Like Bakin (grid.css)

Hi guy's, I'm new here and not from an english speaking country, so sorry for the mistakes.

I started with html a few day's ago and now I'm working on the grid.css file. I inclueded it to my html file, but my page didn't look like in the video. I double checked the code but I couldn't find the mistake. Probably somebody can help me with this probleme. Here is my current code:

Thanks a lot!

I don't see where you included the grid.css file in your html here. Can you try to post it again with the whole html file?
