I’ve been absolutely struggling with Dropbox not working. That or it’s simply a me issue with my code (I’ve made my own custom code using Katie’s template here’s the live preview: https://codepen.io/Cyadical/pen/bGZXEaM
This is the main thing I’ve been using, (without the * obviously) but I’ve also took advice from other forum post (such as changing the scl to s, the dl=0 to one or raw=1) but NONE of it has worked. Maybe it’s an issue with my code? If someone who knows about coding could look over my code to see if there’s any issues I’d appreciate it! Please don’t use it for yourself btw it’s for my personal use only
<*link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://dl.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3cp7f9za1knj5zba2s4zt/lioden.txt?rlkey=1kl9lq19puvesdou8b19sn8hz&dl=0" */>

Onto the second part of this, maybe Dropbox is the issue, but I highly doubt it considering everyone here uses it seemingly, but I would love some other suggestions for places to host my code. Don’t suggest GitHub since I’ve already tried that as well and it didn’t work (likely my fault as well, but it just doesn’t seem like a platform I want to use anyway)

Just glancing at your url, I think the issue is that your file seems to be a .txt file, when it needs to be saved as .css

So it's not a Dropbox issue - it's the original file format itself, if that makes sense?

What are you using to save the file? Personally I've always used Notepad, because when saving it's straightforward to do Save As and then All Files, adding .css to the end of the name to ensure file type. Same as is described in the tutorial (behind the spoiler tag) in Katie's post here: link
