Courses Plus Student 513 PointsInclude External CSS
Ok so I included the link to the external CSS correctly like on the video but when I do the preview my website still shows the bullet points next to my photos, whereas in the preview website in the video there is no longer bullet points and he points out there are not more bullet points so what am I doing wrong. I rewatched the video and entered everything in correctly so why are the bullet points still showing up.
Here is the code
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Brittany,
If it removed the bullet points in the nav then everything is working properly. You should still have bullets for the gallery items and you'll see how to remove them later. At the end of the video I believe, Nick makes it a point to say the bullets have been removed from the navigation but doesn't scroll down to show that they're still there for the gallery.
The older 1.x version of normalize.css used in this course only removes bullets from lists within the nav element.
For future reference, the newest version of normalize doesn't remove any bullets at all so you will have to do it yourself.

Courses Plus Student 513 PointsHmm, the reason why I thought something was wrong is because it didn't show any bullet points next to the photos in the video, but yet in my website it shows bullet points next to my photos.

Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsWell, the bullets should be showing up at the bottom left corner of the photos. Nick never scrolls down at the end of the video to show whether they're there or not. You only see the top half of the photo if I remember right.
To alleviate your concern, if you go to the next video in the next stage you will see the bullets again at around 1:45 in the video when nick scrolls down.
In hindsight, it probably would have been good if Nick scrolled to simply make the point that the bullets are still there and we'll remove them later.
I guess the main question right now is, do you still have bullets in your navigation? If you do, then you have a problem. :)

Courses Plus Student 513 PointsOk so it looks like there are no bullets in the navigation and the bullets show up at the bottom of the photos now. Thank you

10,288 PointsHi Brittany, can you please post your code here so I could see exactly what's the problem? It should look like this:
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
Let me know if that helped.

10,514 PointsLikely one of two things is going on here:
- You've got a slight syntax error with your link to the stylesheet
or
- You didn't upload the stylesheet file (normalize.css for this section of the course) into the css directory (folder).
If you're sure you've got normalize.css in the right spot, can you paste us your link code? It might just be a tiny typo.
