<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive.css"> I have applied the code to the html files but only contact turns navy.

I have placed the code in all the html files and have checked over and over again that they match the display in the video. When I launch the site the css is only applied to the contact page. the other pages do not turn navy when the browser window is resized.

Did you make sure to save the file after you pasted in the link? Sometimes I forget to do that when I'm following along with the videos.

Yes make sure the other two files are saved and also make sure they are linking to the stylesheet.

You can test it by placing the media query directly in the file since the code is working on index.html
