Normalize and Main do not have any styling effects on index.html in my work space. I downloaded the project file and replaced my code with the code there but it still didn't work. I'm using Chrome incidentally. Has anyone experienced something similar?

Sorry for the delay. The code itself looks fine. A few things to check would be:
- The location of the style sheets - Make sure they are located within a css folder.
- Casing - Check the files are named normalize.css and not something like Normalize.css (capital N) for example.
- Location of the HTML file - Make sure this is in the root of the website and not in the same css folder as the style sheets.
One quick way to check would be to change:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
to:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
This will check if the style sheet is in the same folder / at the same level as the HTML file and not in a css sub folder.
Hope one of the above helps.

Thanks for your reply - worked it out: the css folder was capitalized as CSS... silly, silly mistake!
