Hi Ezekiel Enejeta!

External CSS: check to make sure that "css../style.css" is the correct link in your href. Also, you're missing the "type" of link, so be sure to add that.

Navigation elements: you've made a typo in each of the anchor tags. I'm sure you can find and fix these!

I hope this helps and keep at it!

Is your css file in the folder named css..? My guess is the name of the folder is css. So the href should be css/style.css.
