I have created a navigation bar using HTML and CSS, but I am having trouble getting the CSS to affect the HTML. I have checked my static files setup and tried various settings, but nothing seems to work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. As a beginner in HTML and CSS, any mistakes I may have made are welcome for correction. Thank you!
