Beginner tip about CSS that has saved me hours: When your styles are not applying, check these three things first before you start panicking: Is the CSS file actually linked correctly in your HTML? Are you targeting the right class or ID? (One wrong letter and nothing works) Is another style overriding it? More specific selectors usually win. These three simple checks solve the problem for me most of the time. It’s easy to overlook the basics when you’re frustrated, but starting here almost always helps.
