CSS not linking in Notepad++

I can't get my CSS page to link to my HTML one in notepad++ the HTML has the location C:\website\index.html

"<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title> title </title>

<meta charset="utf-8">


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

</head>

<body>

<h1> heading</h1>

<p class="para"> this is a placeholder for a paragraph</p>

<hr>

</body>

</html>"

and the CSS has the location C:\website\CSS\test.css " h1 {

font-family="Ariel";

color="green";

}

.para{

color="red";

}"

everywhere I look just says make they're in the same folder but I still couldn't get them to work so I tried putting the CSS in a subfolder, I've tried putting them in the root directory nothing seems to work when I run it in firefox it just shows the HTML.

for historical purposes if anyone else has this problem the error was in the CSS and works correctly when adjusted to h1 { font-family:"Arial"; color:green; } .para { color:red; }
