Can't link main.css to index.html in Brackets

#1

I'm relatively new to html/css and is trying to create a website from scratch with Brackets.
I have my html code and I need the live preview to see if i'm coding my css correctly but nothing changes.
Pls look through my code and see if there's a problem and if am I linking the bootstrap correctly. Thanks.

<head>
	<meta charset="utf-8"/>
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">	
</head>

add these too

<!-- jQuery library -->
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

<!-- Latest compiled JavaScript -->
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

and
To ensure proper rendering and touch zooming, add the following tag inside the element:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

can we see your full html and css code? And a screenshot of the directory containing the html and css files

I save them both in desktop/brackets. I stopped coding in main.css after it doesn't appear in Liew Preview.

is your stylesheet called main.css and in the same directory? The change do show up, such a local problem is super difficult to trouble shoot on a forum like this
