Some Styles Pulling Onto Page, Outdated Tutorial?

Hi I have tried adding bootstrap to the functions.php file however I just cant seem to get it to work properly. I can see on my page that it is pulling through onto the page just fine but no CSS styling is being applied?

Is this tutorial outdated or am I doing something wrong?

Here is my code:

<?php


function theme_styles() {

    wp_enqueue_style('boostrap_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_styles');

?>

Here is the site that I am working on:

Thanks, Nick

Hello Nick, you need call 'core' bootstrap.css not bootstrap-theme.css. 

<?php


function theme_styles() {

    wp_enqueue_style('boostrap_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_styles');

?>

Not sure if this could be part of the problem however. You have a misspelling you have wp_enqueue_style('boostrap_css', should be wp_enqueue_style('bootstrap_css'.
