CSS

bg {
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    background-color: blue;
    clip-path: polygon(100% 0, 100% 25%, 0 90%, 0 61%, 0 0);
    position: absolute;
    z-index: -1;
}

I have tried everything I can do but it does not work , I tried changing the name of the CSS file even but it is still not working, any idea how I can fix that ? I have also tried putting it in the "styling tag as bg {} but still did not work , could it have something to do with where I typed the link ? under the title tags ?

You target classes in css with a `.`. So you have to write `.bg` — cloned, May 15 '21 at 13:25
@Clive It is all the way at the bottom and by the way i did add the .bg as cloned said but still did not work — Hadi Zouhbi, May 15 '21 at 13:34
I fixed it , for some reason when i put the style in a separate .css file it the linking is not working but when i put the .bg in the home html file under — Hadi Zouhbi, May 15 '21 at 13:40

You need to add . to the bg since its a class. Also, link is an empty tag.

.bg {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: blue;
  clip-path: polygon(100% 0, 100% 25%, 0 90%, 0 61%, 0 0);
  position: absolute;
  z-index: -1;
}

Create css file in a folder.

Add link to that css in head section.

Add version to css so it will reloaded with changes / clear caches of browser.

( More info - Why adding version number to CSS file path? )

e.g.

 <!DOCTYPE html>
  <html lang="en">
   <head>
     <meta charset="UTF-8">
      <title>HZ Everything Business</title>
       <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./Folder_Name/home.css?v=1.1" />
      // U can change 1.1 to other numbers before refreshing page. so changes made in home.css will be reflected.
   </head>
