Styles not applying

When I type styles in the html as instructed they don't apply. Same thing goes for when I type styles into the style.css file. Nothing is being applied to the page and I can't figure out why.

Hi Cat Noone,

I've just forked this to the link below, and it's importing the CSS:

http://port-80-requ8uz1hv.treehouse-app.com/

Your code is correct so try clearing your cache or trying it in private browsing. The heading used for testing (code below) wasn't appearing when clicking preview from the editor, however when I went to incognito in chrome (CTRL+SHIFT+N) so I'd assume there's some caching oddness...

Clear your cache with your version first, and if not, then add the inline CSS h1 and let us know:

<h1 style="color: red; font-size: 80px;">Test</h1>

Cheers, Ash

Thanks, I cleared my cache and it seems to have fixed itself.
