Hi Fabricio did you add the "link" tag to your HTML file? Sometimes we can forget doing that and thats the reason why its not displaying. Another reason could be that the "footer" selector that you are trying to use is an ID or a Class, are you sure you need to target the footer or it might be #footer or .footer...

Let me know if this helped you.
