Probably there must be spell error or syntax error in css. As syntax error in CSS it doesn't throw error instead it doesn't do what it is supposed to do.

following worked for me. resume.html <link rel="stylesheet" href="resume.css">

resume.css h1{ color:blue; }

I'm having the same problem, but saw in an answer further back that removing the .css from the file name in the href makes it work for me. So for example, instead of:

href="resume.css"

I have:

href="resume"

and it's working!

I'm not sure why, but there you go! Hope this works.
