Can't link main.css to my html file.

I cant seem to link my main.css file to my html file. I've spent a ton of time trying to figure out what I could be doing wrong. I am not finding anything.

Can you look at my docs and see what I am doing wrong?

I've continued on with other lesson plans and kept writing the main.css file.

It would be nice to see what my css markup is doing.

Thanks

We cannot access your docs. Could you post the code from your the head of your html file, to figure out the problem. :)

Is that everything? There should be something in your "head"

<head></head>

there is plenty in my head brackets when I copy and paste it all that shows up is the title. Is this normal?

Hi Todd,

I fixed your code for you.

The forums will strip out html if not posted properly.

See this thread: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/posting-code-to-the-forum

It will show you the different ways you can post code in the forums.

You didn't put equal sign = between href and "css/normalize.css" and "css/main.css" as well.

Todd, you should look at tips for asking questions, or read this How-to guide I would really like to help you, but without your code it is not possible.

You forgot the equal sign at the href. I suggest you use an editor with auto completion until you get the hang out of syntax
