Hi there, Double click on zip icon. It will open and show up in blue folder. You will be able to access your project files.

You need something like 7 zip or winRAR. When you have on of theses installed , right click the file and hit extract to or unzip. Most of the time the file will be extracted on to the same place where you un extracted file is , but with most programs the extraction location can be customized. I recommend you use winRAR.

Copy it and save it as normalize.css in yout text editor.

Hi Heriberto,

You could decompress/unzip the normalize.css (ZIP) file using compression/decompression tool such as WinRAR. After:

  • Drag your 'normalize.css' file from the decompressed folder on your computer to the left bottom-most section of your workspace in the browser until you see a highlighted section with the text 'Drag Files to Upload' then release your drag.
  • Workspace would upload the file from your computer into your workspace - you can then drag it into the right folder on workspace say e.g. 'css' folder.

Option 2:

You could use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) such as the one listed below:

<link rel="stylesheet" src="//normalize-css.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/normalize.css" />

Just copy and paste this into the head section of your HTML.

Hope this helps :)

Cheers!
