Hi Baraa,

I don't see a head tag in your html, this is where you would link your css page to your html page. Do you have such a link? if so could you post that code so we can see it. The head tag is where you have your title, meta data, any external fonts you are using.

An example of such would be,

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Title Here</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>

all your content here

</body>
</html>

Hi Baraa,

I understand, Did you put 3 back ticks then type html press enter then paste your content press enter again then 3 more back ticks?

I assume you did as some of your code appears, I don't know why other pieces would be missing but i just wanted to make sure.

Maybe there is a issue with spacing between lines of code.

If you paste all your code in normally without the back ticks (markdown) I will take a look for you and see if i can get it to display. :)
