Example

If your file directory looks like this:

folder
    index.html
    styles.css

Then to link the style css you will need to type the following code in your html:

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

However if your file directory looks like this for example:

folder
    index.html
    folder2
        styles.css

Then to link the style css you will need to type the following code in your html:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="folder2/styles.css">

Hope this helps, if not please reference your code so we can help you out.

thanks for your help. i appreciate it.
