My "normalize.css" file will not transfer to the screen, how do I make it do that?

Where there is the index.html workspace open where you can work on it the normalize.css will not do that. When I click on it it just darkens on the left side handle.

I hope someone will give you a better answer than this. The screen darkening sounds like a lagging pc to me. besides that, all this stuff we are learning is rather unforgiving. Make sure every single "." "<>" and whatever else is in the place where it is supposed to be. sometimes i have someone else look at my stuff to see if what i missed. I think you can copy and paste the url from the work spaces and then someone else can look at your stuff. HAVE FUN!!!

Thanks for the help! I actually figured out that the file was zipped so all I had to do was unzip it I feel stupid for not realizing that, but thank you anyway!

nothing to feel stupid about. this stuff can be a little overwhelming, SOOOOOOOOOOOO much to learn

also make sure to type the path in a case sensitive way.

If you css folder name is CSS instead of css make sure to use the right case sensitive path name in your <link rel= "stylesheet" href= "css/normalize.css">
