Building my first website

Community Off Topic

I am building my first website and I am having trouble linking my HTML file with my CSS file.
I am using A2 hosting and I have already written my HTML and CSS with a text editor.
When I go to put it on the website I can’t figure out how to link the two together.
I know that I have to use the code in the header to link the two. The issue is that the style.css file does not show up.
What am I missing here?

What does your root directory look like?

index.html
style.css

or

index.html
css >
    style.css

?

For the first, your link should look like,

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

and the second,

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

In the head of my html document I use

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

Load your home page (in a web browser) and right click, “Inspect Element” then click on Network and see if the style sheet is listed as having downloaded.

The network box is empty

This is my html code. The CSS file is located right below it. They are both in my public_html file

Hey,

When you open the website eg example.com nothing is showing or only the HTML is showing ?
are you going to your domain.com/home.html ?

If you want your page to be seen when you open up the domain without adding /file.html then rename your file to index.html that automatically makes it the landing page for your website
