I haven't edited anything on basic index.html exercise, but when I try to preview, all I get is a blank screen.

I'm trying to practice with the first html exercise. I can bring up the code in the workspace - it looks just like the code in the video. My browser (chrome) opens a new tab, but it's just a blank screen. I haven't even changed anything yet so don't understand why it would do this.

If anyone else is having this issue, I was able to resolve it by saving my changes and then previewing. I realized while watching Joy do the same. Thanks for the help everyone.

I've experienced problems this morning while using workspaces and coding challenges. I had contacted support and they told me that Treehouse is experiencing some outages because of denial of service attacks on Dyn dns.

The denial of service attack has been affecting other websites like twitter, spotify, github and fastly, to name a few.
