are you sure the syntax and everything is correct? like : <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />

Could be a directory issue, try adding ../example.css if your css directory is up one..

HTML code: <HTML> <HEAD> <LINK REL="stylesheet" HREF="example.css"/> </HEAD> <P>This is my first paragraph.</P> <P>This is my second paragraph.</P> </BODY> </HTML> CSS syntax: P { color: white; background-color: gray; }

So uppercase html code is a no go? Thank you for the tip. I also posted the css code I was given to use.

I did lol I checked and even changed the file name and the name in the code. Did not work. tried adding the type attribute and didn't work either. How did you enter the code into the playground?
