Hi guys, I’m Anita!
I’m currently starting out on my full stack developer course with Codecademy and I’m loving it so far, but I have got to a section which I thought would be easy enough for me now, but my CSS file doesn’t seem to be linking to the HTML.
I have looked up a number of different solutions and they don’t seem to work. So I wondered if anyone can help me on here? I feel like it’s going to be the most obvious thing, but I’ve been trying for ages with no luck, so rather than give up and move on, I’d like to know what I’m doing wrong 
Preformatted text
The link to the exercise I’m stuck on is: Challenge Project
And I’ve attached a screenshot of the CSS so far (nothing was working so I thought I’d add in an obvious one to see if it worked, but it didn’t).

and my CSS is:
h1 {
color: red;
}
