Hi Edgar, The file is necessary in order to "reset" certain browser-specific CSS styles (like those default styles of Firefox, Chrome, etc.). It is really helpful if you want to follow along in the video. Did you drag and drop to the bottom left corner, where it looked like the file would add? Another more lengthy method would be to simply create a new file, called normalize.css, by clicking the File option and selecting to make a new file. Then copy and paste the normalize.css contents in. The contents can be copied and pasted from here: http://necolas.github.io/normalize.css/3.0.1/normalize.css Let me know if that helps! Peace, Laura :)

Thank you so much. Yea I just did the lengthy way since the drag and drop wouldnt work.

Glad to hear you figured something out, even if it wasn't the most efficient solution :)
