Format of the page changes when copied

Hi, i am having a problem with the format of the page. I have copied the code and created the about page as shown, but when i display in the browser a noticeable difference in text sizes and height of the header.

I created the contact page using the same method, expecting either it to work as expected or have the same problem as the about page. However, it again is also different from both the index and about page, so i have three pages using the same copied code that do not look the same.

I assume this is a problem with the googleapi? I am recreating the lesson using sublime text 2.

Thanks

If the tutor was using normalise.css you want to make sure you include that too in your css folder, look in the head tags of your index.html file to see if it's in there.

You may also want to check it in the same browser as the tutor, Chrome.

Did you create the files right next to the index.html file? That way the css will know where to look. Make sure your about.html and contact.html (or whatever they are called) are pointed at the right css file.

Also, make sure you copied everything from from the Doctype tag to the ending html tag.

Hope you get it working!
