7,695 PointsTwo Things:
1) Your head tag is closed after your body tag begins. Fix: Close the head tag and then open the body tag (then remember to close tags like body, header and html).
2) Remember that the order which the browser reads the css files and overrides them is important. For example, if you want everything you do in your normalize.css file to override the main.css file, it needs to be placed after the main.css file in the head section.
Hope this helps...
