Hi Keonna!

You need to make sure to save the file with the .css extension!

If you are going to work offline as well I highly recommend that you get a good text editor to program in!

Take a look at some of the ones below:

Brackets

Sublime Text

Atom

I hope this helped!

I would advise against Wordpad for any kind of programming. Luke made some great suggestions and I would like to add Notepad++ to his list.

http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

It is built for windows.

If you ever switch to Linux I would recommend Geany.

Lastly about your issue can you paste the code any where else? Are you sure it is being copied?
