[SOLVED] Background color not changing with @media screen in responsive.css

Hi all,

I've followed Nick's instructions to a t, but am not able to have the background color change when entering the @media screen bit into the responsive.css file.

I've double-checked the responsive.css is properly linked in the index.html, about.html, and contact.html.

Here's a snapshot of my code: https://w.trhou.se/aiufzj8ae4

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Whoops! That moment when you finally have that 'ah ha!' moment right after posting the question.

I needed to have it read <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive.css"> instead of <link rel="responsive" href="css/responsive.css">. Simple fix and now it's working!
