8,963 PointsSolved - I can't link an external CSS to the index.html
Stage 1: Getting started with CSS. I wrote the code in Sublime 2 just like in the video for both index.html and style.css. I have a folder on my desktop called "adding-css". Inside the folder there is the index.html and another folder called "css", where the "style.css" is located.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Adding CSS</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css">
<style type="text/css">
h1 {
color: white;
background-color: #E14607;
}
</style>
</head>
<body style="background-color: #BDD4DE;">

</ul>

</html>
css:
h2 {
color: steelblue;
padding-bottom: 10px;
border-bottom: 2px dotted;
}
ul {
color: white;
background-color: steelblue;
}
Is it something wrong with the path or why is it not working? Please help. Workspaces was much easier than Sublime...

8,963 PointsNevermind, I found the answer. My index.html was originally saved on desktop in Sublime and not inside the "adding-css" folder. I saved it again in the right location and now it works :)

3,352 PointsThe code itself seems fine to me. I just saved them both on my computer and ran them, and it works! I would suggest that you look more closely at the file names and paths, and make sure they are correct. For example the style.css file should be saved as a css file, not a style.css plain text file.
I hope this helps.
