    Step back from the tools a minute.

    Open your html in a browser. Is it working? Do a view source in Firefox and try click to the CSS file - does it display?

    If not, open a text editor (I like Fraise on Mac -discussion for another day.)

    Find your CSS reference in the html. Fix it and test again.

    Get comfortable with editing in text editors, very useful.

    You'll need to post code examples for us to help further.

    <!doctype html>

    <html lang="en">

    <head>

    <title>Html5</title>
    <link rel="stlyesheet" type="text/css" href="css/main.css"/>

    </head>

    You have a typo:
    rel="stlyesheet"
    I didn't see it for ages either. :D

    That's one of the few positive uses I'd have thought Dreamweaver would bring to the table - pointing out typos in standard code like that.

    /me goes back to the text editor

    Ah well yes, and them :)

    I don't need them with a good editor though - even vim would do the job quite handily, with the right .vimrc. Wouldn't attempt in emacs OS (it needs a good editor)
