what was the main problem here then?
You ommited the ***type="text/css"***. This tells the browser type of document in which youâre referring.
isnât it supposed to be <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css"/>
Oops!!! Sorry case and thatâs a typo 
But to me, the forward slash is optional.
The type attribute is optional when the type is text/css. Thatâs the default type for a stylesheet anyway.
Yeah agree, I was trying to consider best practices.
