This is my code: <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
This should be correct, but none of the styling is being applied to the preview.

8,273 PointsThanks David! Not sure why it didn't paste in. Let's try it again:
link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
I had to remove the first angle brace in the beginning so that the code showed up but it's there.

Just double-check your CSS document filename and location matches exactly what you've typed, that's all I can think of!

44,438 PointsOh, and if you're working in Workspaces (which I'll assume you are) then make sure your normalize.css file is definitely INSIDE the 'css' folder. Sometimes it's difficult to see, if the folders are all expanded the indentation is very slight and can be missed!

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 6,439 PointsHi Sam,
Is your normalize.css file in the css folder? Also something I learned along the way was that everything is case sensitive. So if you have CSS as the folder name and specify the path as css, it won't work correctly.

8,273 PointsI just added a new CSS document to override normalize.css and it is not affecting the document either. My syntax and capitalization are all correct.I'm not sure what's going on.

8,273 PointsNevermind. Issue has been resolved. I had the index.html in the img folder for some reason. Thanks everyone!
