Refer to the Markdown Cheatsheet on how to format your code quotes.

From what I can see in your html, you have not linked in your css file. You need the following code in your header block of html:

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

Make sure your href is referring to the actual path and name of your css file.
