@media screen and (min-width: 480px) { body { background-color: navy; } }
The top code is from my index.html and the @media is in my responsive.css

You didn't do anything wrong, and I have no explanation as to why this fixes it...
If you 'cut' the code from the reponsive.css and paste it at the bottom of your main.css and save everything and refresh the page... everything works fine.
And, then if you 'cut' it from main.css and paste it back into you responsive.css and save everything... it all still works. I don't know why, but it works. Lol.
Keep coding! :)

5,215 PointsThank you so much! Workspace shutdown a couple times while I had it up. Maybe that caused it. Either way thank you.

3,471 PointsSame problem. Tried what Jason Anders wrote down, but after pasting it back to responsive.css the background goes back to white. No clue what to do.
This is my code from responsive css:
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) { body { background: navy; } }
And from index.html:
<head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Lili Koves | Designer</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,400italic,700,700italic,800,800italic,300italic,300' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="responsive.css"> </head>
Jason Anders
Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsIt looks like the link for your responsive CSS stylesheet is incorrect. It's missing the css/
prefix. Should be ->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive.css">
Hope that helps. :)
