The normalize.css file isn't adding into my Workspace for some reason. Any clue as to why and how I can fix that?

If your having problems with normalize, the best solution is to goto this page. Copy the code, then create a new file in workspaces called normalize.css and paste the code into it, you now have the normalize file to link to your html.

I have the same problem. I made a css file normalize css and copied the complete content of this page inside the created file. Nothing happens. And yes, I made the link elements in html:

<html> <head> <meta charset="utf8"> <title>Anouk Lejeune | photographer</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css"> </head>

Hey Samit,

You should be able to see the normalize file in your folder on the left of the workspace.

If you add the normalize stylesheet before your main stylesheet, it should work.

Example:

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

There's also this Treehouse video that explains how to set it up:

Let me know if this helps,

Jacob

It's the first portion. I've downloaded the file (though it only shows up as 3KB, which seems wrong), but then even trying to drag and drop the file into the workspace isn't working. Nothing happens. This actually happened with images in the steps above as well, so I simply just used some images that I had saved on my desktop in lieu of those. Could there be an issue with the files attached to the site?
