About page didn't link to CSS

I followed the video and linked about.html to main.css. However, I think it somehow wasn't linked successfully and what I changed for my profile picture as video instructed didn't appear on the page and didn't work for the picture at all.

/********************** ABOUT **************************/ .profile-photo { display: block; max-width: 150px; margin: 0 auto 30px; border-radius: 100%; }

Could someone look at my page link below and give me an idea why it doenst work? Thanks in advance.

can you post the HTML and CSS? The workspace link won't work here.

Workspace isn't working there, so I can't help sorry.

I like to make big bold changes on the css to make sure they are linked. If changing the background works, but your picture doesn't, it is likely a selector issue. If you can make no changes, you're probably not linked. Without seeing your code, that's as much as I can help

if you have any style on your page, then it is not an issue with linking, but an issue with syntax.

It looks like your CSS is fine, so it would be helpful to see the about.html file.

I think someone in the forum had a similar problem. Your issue might be that the header element is floating. Add

clear: both;

to your class .profile-photo and see what happens.
