So after I created the main.css file, I moved it to the normalize.css file, and then linked it inside my index.html file under the normalize. I typed the body element inside my main.css file, save and tried to preview, but the browser wouldn't open. Instead, it kept asking me this:

Do you want to download or save file LGLTJ9RV from port-80-hpknpcb7yy.treehouse-app.com?

When I do either, it asks me to open file with another file. did I miss something?

You are missing an = sign for src in your footer img files.

Fixed the src problem, but still having same problem with browser. I can not preview my work, when it does show up, it is in complete default, no images, broken links, default color, etc

Even after i delete the style links, both of them, save and preview, it's doing the same thing, is this a problem with treehouse?
