28,558 PointsYou have a mistake in the two links tags you have added:
<link rel="stylesheet" href "css/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href "css/main.css">
There needs to be an equal sign (not a space) between the href
attribute and its value, just like there is with the ref
attribute and its value. Like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
Because of this issue your CSS files were not linked with the HTML file, so even though the CSS code itself is fine it doesn't affect your page.
