198 PointsSorry. The doctype does of course look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Shaun Kelly
35,560 PointsRemember to include the equals sign after rel. Heres how your code should look:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<head>
<meta charset="uft-8">
<title>Kasper Toft Braun | Designer</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
