My CSS changes aren't showing up and I can't seem to find any errors in my HTML.. Help!

I have followed along with the videos and I can't seem to find any errors in my HTML or CSS. Not sure if it matters but I'm using google chrome.

I am fairly new myself but I believe it may have to do with the link to your CSS file. I think you need to tell the website to read your css document as text like this...

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css">

Otherwise your code looks good to me. I would make sure that your files are saved correctly with the html and css files in the same folder, otherwise you must specify the file path.

Also, I'm not sure if you just didn't post the entirety of your code but you seem to be missing your doctype and charset at the beginning of your html.

Hope this helps.
