I'm having a dificult time connecting my main.css file to my index.html. The code looks right on my .html file, so I'm having a hard time figuring it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css">
Hope that helps!!

8,019 PointsI found the issue, the folder name was CSS, whereas my reference point was "css/main.css". I went ahead and changed the folder name to css, fixing the issue. Thanks!
