Use ID Selectors

I am working in workspaces and any of the CSS rules I am writting in my main.css are not showing in the browser. Main.css is linked with html, and it's placed in CSS folder together with normalize.css.

Did anybody has the same problem? Thank you for response.

I left workspace and keep using sublime text. Sometimes you have to make sure when you are actually saving files, they are updating in the folder you targeted. Sometimes after switching between text editors , things start to save wherever they want and not where you think they should be. Go back and select save as, and make sure its saving in the same folder.

Check the link to "main.css"

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">

And this link must to be below the "normalize.css" link.

If still didn't change anything, check the CSS RULE.

This days my main.css file wasn't saving, so I copied all code and I deleted the file, then I created another main.css file, after this the file is running normally.

Maybe this can help!
