2 things ...

  • A workspace is only available as long as a user is logged into their Treehouse account
  • Since I happened to see this when you are logged in I noticed you have all your files in the joes-pizza directory.

If you go to http://web.ofh4mhk0y3.treehouse-app.com/joes-pizza/ you'll see your website.

Hi there! Seems your link to the css file is not corrent. Your file name is actulally style.css. Also, the file path is not correct. You need to point to the css directory where the style.css is. Try replacing the href attribute of your link tag with this: href="../css/style.css" It should work.

Ah, that's easy :D It's your root directory. It will always show unless you have a file named index.html or something like that placed in that root directory.

If you mean what does ../css/styles.css means, then I could explain. style.css is the name of your file. css is the name of the directory where that file is located .. is actually not needed. It would work without it too. But generally it is a placeholder and means the directory where the html file is located in.

That much I understand as well but,

i just want to remove this webpage that acts as a middle man between the workspace page and the site you have posted http://web.ofh4mhk0y3.treehouse-app.com/joes-pizza/

So that is my real concern
