Hello Alina,

You need to have those external links, inside of head tags,

<head> <link ref="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link ref="stylesheet" href="css/main.css"> </head>

also you forgot to include <body> tags and <html> at very begin and change that "link ref " to "link rel"

Thank you for your replay! I dont know why but when i paste it doesnt showed up the head tag.Thouse links are already in a head tag(in my code).If u have an email..i can send it to you..cause the code it seems to have no problem when i paste in an email or text document.Here are 2 issues : the paste and wrapping the file.

On that site it seems that everything seems to be ok.Maybe my workspace has an issue. What do you think?

Hey Alina,

Yes it could be, only error i noticed was this http://prntscr.com/5rzfru and just change it to this http://prntscr.com/5rzggw from "ref" to "rel" I also recommend you to download this text editor http://www.sublimetext.com and to work from it, instead in workspace. Regards

Hey Alina,

Here is a link to explain how to use Markdown to post your code How to post code

If you look at the bottom of the box when your typing a reply you will see Markdown Cheatsheet that will also explain how to post your code.

You have to make sure you have a bit of space under your last line of text in your post. Then you add three back ticks followed by html or css depending on the type of code your inserting.
Then straight after your last line of code you add another three back ticks.
Remember to leave at least a few lines between any text at the top or bottom of your code.

alt text

Inserting an Image

Here is the link generated by dropbox for the image.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/i8eylka2yj5odp2/Lorem-img.png?dl=0

and here is the code edited so i can insert it (removed text from beginning and end)

dropbox.com/s/i8eylka2yj5odp2/Lorem-img.png

here is the code i wrapped it in.

![alt text](https://dl.YOUR IMAGE CODE GOES HERE "Title")

so the end result is

![alt text](https://dl.dropbox.com/s/i8eylka2yj5odp2/Lorem-img.png "Title")

Hope this helps.
