Sasha S I believe the issue is that when referencing your CSS file you have

<link rel:"stylesheet" href:"resume.css">

where the colons should be equal signs. Try:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="resume.css">

Let me know if you need anything else!

Thank you! (Can't believe I didn't see that! Haha) :)

Because of the ":" You should use "=" When something doesnt work, its because u'r writting. <link rel="stylesheet" href="resume.css"> And for u'r personal style in css, the universal and more functional whay is to name it "mystyle.css"
