I'm a beginner in this so I apologise in this since I'm learning myself so please cut me some slack. I'm having a problem in linking my CSS into my index, all I'm trying to do is make a certian portion on top of the page black, like a box just filled black. The banner area technically. And it's not linking for some reason? Here is the CSS and HTML code - I've tried opening in Chrome and explorer and nothing is happening? Please help.

.top-section {
