Linking CSS to HTML

Hello, I have been taking treehouse lessons for a while now and I keep running into a very basic problem. I keep trying to link my HTML document to a CSS and failing. I'm using textmate.

here is the code I use: 

<link rel="styleshet" href="styleme.css"/>

and I have another css open that I saved as "styleme.css"

what am i doing wrong?

@Dan -

Assuming that the css & html files are in the same folder.

Try using:

<link rel = "stylesheet" type = "text/css" href = "styleme.css">
