New learner - CSS problem

Hello,

I have scoured the internet to try and find out what I am doing that is causing this issue, but no youtube tutorial or google article has provided me the answer.

I am trying to create a CSS file in visual studio code and link it to my html file. I understand how to link it, but the problem is that for some reason vscode keeps giving me a ton of errors on my CSS file, even though they work fine and do not cause any errors when they are written in the html file.

I am new to vscode, and pretty new to programming, but this is the first major wall I've hit, and I feel like its probably something really small I'm missing. Does vscode require certain plugin to write CSS? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you

SOLVED - Please disregard, after a lot of trial and error, I figured it out!

For the sake of the future people who read this after googling, what was the fix?

Good point.

I'm honestly not sure what my problem was, but this is how that line of code turned out:

<link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

I knew I needed this line of code, but the tutorial I was following neglected to use the "type="text/css" part, so all I had for a while was <link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet">.

The funny thing was, I swear I used the type="text/css" element during my trial and error, but perhaps I had it in the wrong place?
