Complete list of reasons why a css file might not be working

Question

This problem is making me feel like an absolute noob.

Here is the head of my .html file:

Answer 1

If your URL is working and loads the file correctly, and you've said that adding the correct

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="yourlink.css">

code doesn't fix it, then the only other problem is that's it's an error in the actual .css file. And to advise you on that, we'd need to see the file.

What you can do though is write one basic <div> tag into your HTML, add in a basic CSS rule into your existing file, then see if you can influence this tag with your new CSS rule.
