The CSS Link is not having an effect on the appearance of my HTML page (normalize.css) and I copied Nick's code exactly.

I have included the CSS (normalize.css) to my HTML page, and for some reason it has no effect on the appearance of my html page. I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong :(

Hi Callum. Thanks for getting back to me so fast. I just figured it out. I named the file "CSS" (caps), and Nick named it "css" (lowercase). I kept checking/rechecking/comparing my code to Nick's, and i didn't realize I should've been checking the file path was correct. I also didn't realize caps/lowercase made such a difference. oops. Thank you anyway!
