Why won't my either of my style sheets link-normalize and main?

Here is my code:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Karen Rose | Designer</title> <link rel="styleheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link rel="styleheet" href="css/main.css"> </head> <body> <header> <a href="index.html"id="logo"> <h1>Karen Rose</h1> <h2> Designer</h2> </a> <nav> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a> </li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> </ul> </nav> </header> <div id="wrapper"> <section> <ul> <li> <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> <p>Experimentation with color and texture.</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt=""> <p>Playing with blending modes in Photoshop. </p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg"> <img src ="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt=""> <p>Trying to create an 80's style of glows.</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-09.jpg"> <img src ="img/numbers-09.jpg" alt=""> <p>Drips created using Photoshop brushes.</p> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-12.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-12.jpg" alt=""> <p>Creating shapes using repetition</p> </a> </li>

I believe your problem is the link rel="styleheet" href="css/main.css" should be link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css" you require the correct spelling as it doesn't know the file you are trying to link to is a stylesheet without the correct spelling. :)

Hi, Karen. You're missing your <head> and <body> tags. Your code should work fine if you put those in! :)

Your meta title and link tags need to go into a head tag. Your also missing the body tags.

I'm not sure why they didn't copy over but they were there and it still doesn't link.

Here's the link to check out my code. http://port-80-o1ynjndh70.treehouse-app.com

I did have the head and body tags but for some reason when I copied and pasted into the answer space they disappeared.
