What is wrong with my workspace?

Somewhere on my way it seems that I did something wrong probably in responsive.css and my workspace does not look right anymore. There are lots of words displayed in blue now even in the index.html it does not look like in Nicks workspace (gray). Also the 3 columns and responsive does not work. I att. my workspace here, starting with responsive.css, main.css, normalize.css, about.html, contact.html and index.html. Can anybody help me? What can I do?

If I were you, I'd take everything in your workspaces and put them into a text editor so you can view the html page in google chrome and inspect the elements with the chrome developer tools.
