You must add a link tag to your html.

<link rel = "stylesheet" href = "css/style.css">

Href being the css file that you want to include.

Hi Sai,

We need to see your code to know what the problem is (I recommend watching the video in the right sidebar called Tips for asking questions --> ).

My guess would be your problem is in your HTML, where you link to your stylesheet. Make sure your code looks something like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css">
