I know this is probably a simple question but how do I get the link to view the code in the browser?

Hey Lindsey, are we talking about working from Treehouses Workspaces?if that's the case a Preview button should be located in the upper right hand corner of your text editor.

I was actually using sublime text editor. I think that's what the video recommended. Is there an easy way to get the link from sublime?

If you are talking about adding a Cascading Style sheet you:

add 

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="YOURStyleSheetNameHere.css" />

to your .html file's head. So it should be something like 

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="YOURStyleSheetNameHere.css" />

</head>

You need to make sure that the .css file is in the same directory/folder as your .html file.

Then find the file on your computer, and click on the .html file to open in your browser.

I have not been able to view it yet. I've been trying a few different options. I'm still figuring it out.

Hey Lindsey– just start your favorite browser, navigate to the index.html page and click open.

  • Start your browser
  • Click file > open file (might differ between browsers)
  • Navigate to the index.html file (e.g. /where/you/saved/css-foundations/1-getting-started-with-css/adding-css-to-page/start/index.html
  • Click open
