I followed the instructions to load the normalize file and have the exact same codes but the bullet points are still present. Even when I copied pasted the code like Nick's html, the bullet points are still present.

1,275 PointsI managed to find the problem! Thanks. My css folder was written in caps while i was calling it in lower case.

8,925 Pointsthanks for the trick!
Maybe it would be better to show some of these markdown infos directly under the field and to have a button more to show all the detail infos.

8,925 PointsCan we see main.css ?
David Tonge
Courses Plus Student 45,640 PointsI was about to ask the same question that Florian Goussin asked. I'm pretty sure that in your main.css you have to declare:
li{
list-style: none;
}
Jason Anello
Courses Plus Student 94,610 PointsHi Annabelle,
Are you sure that the normalize.css file is in the css folder? It looks like you are linking to it properly in the html but if none of the styles are taking effect then it sounds like it's not finding the file.
To be clear, at the point you add the normalize.css file you should still have bullet points with your gallery items but you should not have bullet points with your navigation links. The older version of normailze that comes with this project only removes bullet points from lists within the nav element. I think later in the project you will remove the bullet points with your gallery items.
If you're seeing bullets with the navigation then I would make sure your normalize file is in the css folder.

li {
list-style-type: none;
}

1,275 PointsIt seems that none of my CSS files are loading. No matter what code I write in the main.css, nothing is happening. I do have both normalize and main in my CSS folder and I called them correctly in my index.html file. The normalize.css is just the file that I downloaded and dragged to the workspace under CSS folder.

1,275 PointsHere is the code. I added the main.css line and whatever I write in the main.css while following the tutorial does not work either.
Thanks

1,275 PointsDoes the code show up nicely? Or do I have to upload it differently? I just copy pasted it.

David Tonge
Courses Plus Student 45,640 PointsWhen posting code to forum, it's best to use the Markdown Cheatsheet that's located under the comment box. The code you posted is missing elements though.
Michelle Cannito
8,992 PointsThe CSS property to remove bullet points is this:
{ text-decoration: none; }
To post code, first use 3 backward tick marks.
The backward tick mark is on the same key as the ~.
On most keyboards, it is in the upper left corner, to
the left of the ! and 1 key.
after posting code, add 3 more backward tick marks
to end it.
