I've followed every step up until this point. The background is should be black and there is supposed to be a border. When previewing the web page it still appears as it did before I added the css code. I've typed everything correctly.

Treehouse TeacherHey Ryan Lovett , thanks for your question!
it's a little tricky to see what's happening for you without seeing any code. If you are working in Treehouse Workspaces, you can actually take a snapshot of your workspace and share it. You can find it on the top right amongst the 3 icons there. Take a snapshot by clicking the first icon (the one that looks like a camera) and follow the instructions. This will allow anyone who sees your question to get a better understanding of what you're looking at. This is especially useful when you start working with larger projects!
Just going off what you said though, a possible reason is because the CSS file hasn't been linked to the HTML file. Be sure to revisit this video starting from 1:29. This talks about linking external CSS to the existing HTML so that any styles you write will be applied.
I hope this helps!
