normalize.css does not seem to be connected to my html page.

After attaching normalize.css to my index.html it does not seem to be connected to my page. when i inspect the element in chrome and click on the sources tab it doesnt seem like its seeing the css page.

<link rel="sytlesheet" href="normalize.css">

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

put that it in between your head tags; use cdns.

Make sure the css file is in the same directory or your code is directed to correct file location. I hope that helps.

Make sure that normalize.css and index.html are in the same directory. If this is not the case, then you will have to explicitly denote the relative path from index.html to normalize.css in the href attribute.

in your original code you have a spelling error:

<link rel="sytlesheet" href="normalize.css">

take a look at how you spelled stylesheet. That's probably the issue.
