CSS Build a Simple Website Creating a Website Structure Working with Grids

Cannot get HTML to pull grid.css

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normaliz.css" type="text/css" media="screen"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/grid.css" type="text/css" media="screen"> </head> <body> <div class="container">

I have my div container all ready to go but my webpage doesn't have margins when I refresh. Am I doing something wrong in my text editor where the grid.css isn't linked to my HTML? Or do I have an error some where?

You have a typo in this line on your classes:

<div id="new-cupcakes" class=Grid_5 omega">

It should be this:

<div id="new-cupcakes" class=grid_5 omega">

Anytime Rondell! Often it's the smallest typos that cause the biggest problems.
