641 PointsHTML Links Websites: Part 1
Hello Everybody I'm new and have just got started on Treehouse. I have just come across a little problem and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? I'm on the Links section of the deep dive HTML Wesites Part 1 section and I can't get the first page to link to the second page I've done everything as the video explains but it's not working. I have got my first 2 webpages saved in a folder on the desktop and I'm using notepad. Please could you help. Tweet me here when you post thanks. Mark @markjames2

When I saved the second page I didn't include the under score. I saved it like this another page.html and should have saved it like this another_page.html
Why do you have to include the underscore?
Basic stuff I know but I'm learning.
Should I use Sublime tex editor or notepad? sublime looks so much better!

Sublime is made for more of a coding setup, where notepad is made more for just plain text. Sublime will change the text colors to better label the items, and auto-complete some end tags. Hope this helps!
