Struggling with CSS Reset

Hi everyone,

I'm also struggling with CSS reset. I've it copied the code word for word from the "CSS reset" video but still no difference so I'm thinking that I haven't downloaded the "normalize.css on GitHub" properly. Any help please?

Thanks.

How to add normalize.css:

  1. Go to normalize.css repo on github
  2. Click the big green download button
  3. Save the file to your desktop
  4. Move the normalize.css file in your sublime text project folder
  5. Create a link element that references css/normalize.css

The <link> tag, works the same way as an <a> by using the href attribute.

Note: These directions assume that all of your CSS files are in a folder named css.

Sorry, couldn't paste the code here but I copied it exactly the way it is in the video. I did link the code in the head section. However, I couldn't download "normalize.css on GitHub". I think that's the bit I'm stocked on that's why there is no changes on my website.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
