Hello!
In the first video, @3:48 in video transcript, the background color changes to blue.
When I type red instead of blue and refresh the page and preview workspace, it doesn't work. Can anybody explain what needs to be changed?

You can see this in the video, and it vanishes when the instructor saves the file (I expect by typing Ctrl-S). Then after a successful save a browser refresh should show the change.
If that's not it, you could make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here for a more detailed analysis.

821 PointsI did try to save style.css and refresh my browser window, it still did not change. Any other ways to resolve it?
