Is something wrong with my code?

This isn't specifically related to this video, but ever since I added CSS to the code the website has not been updating to the changes I write in CSS or HTML file as it should. I looked several times if there any errors in in the code but could not find any. Any suggestions? Thanks

It would help to look at the code. Can you make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here?

Well, first check the basics. Make sure you're saving the files, refreshing your browser, and clearing the browser cache and try refreshing again. If all that fails, we need to see the code. The easiest way to do this is look in the upper right hand side of your workspace and find the camera icon. Create a snapshot of your workspace and link it to us, so we can take a peek! :)

I see this line in your html which isn't wrong, but brings up a concern:

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

According to this line your css file should be in a folder named "css". But your folder in your workspace file structure (over on the left side) lists the folder name as "CSS". Note that most webservers are linux based and while capitalization doesn't generally matter much in Windows, it's a deal-breaker on linux systems. Try renaming the folder on the left side to "css" instead of "CSS" and see if you see a difference.
