I have encountered a puzzling situation that has left me scratching my head in confusion. Despite being a rookie, I've had experience with linking CSS files before and can't understand why it's not working this time around. This issue is persisting across multiple projects and I'm starting to question my skills. Is it possible that there's a glitch or perhaps I need to take a step back and reassess? I typically use Sublime text but am currently using Notepad++. Could this be the source of the problem? Both my HTML and CSS files are located in the same folder on my desktop. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the source code for my first project:
Project 1:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text.css" href="style.css" />
<title>HTML5/CSS3 Responsive Theme</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/>
</head>;
<body class="body">
