Treehouse Moderator 32,305 PointsNot sure if it's what's causing the issue, but your html has a typo in the CSS file name:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/reponsive.css">
Should be:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive.css">
Assuming that the file itself has the correct file name...

Treehouse Moderator 32,305 PointsNo problem!
Not sure what browser you're using, but things like Chrome's Dev Tools can help to find these issues in future. In this case, it would report that it can't find a file with the filename css/reponsive.css
.
Check out the Treehouse Workshop Debugging a Web App with Chrome Dev Tools for more info.
Other browsers have similar tools.
