I am using a text editor to create a basic web page that has one relative link. I'm familiar with XHTML and am learning CSS. In theory, I know how an external CSS style sheet works, but I can't seem to get it to work out... I put the CSS link
in my home.html document in the correct place (between the head tags?). My CSS comands in the separate document look like this
body { font: dark 12pt 'Century Schoolbook'; background: gray; color: blue }
and I made sure to save this file with the .css extension. Also, I uploaded all the necessary documents to my server...so I can't be wrong there.
The changes show up on the homepage, but not the linked page that I created. Did I do something wrong? Do I need to put the CSS link on the linked page as well as the home page? Thanks.

Yes, each individual page needs to link to the CSS file in the head section.

You need to put the CSS in the linked pages as well to make it work on those pages too.

You have a slash at the end.
Get rid of the slash and do:
And yes, you have to put the link reference in all pages that you want to use the .css page.
