Courses Plus Student 2,335 PointsI am completely lost. I cant even get an image to upload or change some code.
I am following along with the videos and passing the quizzes but changing code, sounds images in workspaces is not working at all. I dont understand a majority of the tags or how anyone is getting information for them. Im totally confused. How am I supposed to know what to put in a metatag? or ID tag? And then we moved on to Javascript before I understand HTML or CSS. Is Treehouse not right for a beginner? I really want to learn this but I'm wondering if im in the wrong place. Any advice is appreciated.

Being a beginner it can all seem a bit intimidating and confusing, but you need to keep at it, rewatch videos on things you feel you don't quite understand. Also what track are you on? I suspect that you're on a introductory-style track, I don't think they expect you to understand everything 100%, its more to get you acquainted with the basic concepts and get a feel for each language and how it all comes together.
How am I supposed to know what to put in a metatag?
Don't worry about meta tags just yet, this will be something you'll use and be more comfortable with later on, for now just include the necessary tags, like: <meta charset="utf-8" /> in your documents. To find out why this is used check out: w3schools
If you're stuck on something or forget something, what I really find helpful is w3schools.

Courses Plus Student 2,335 PointsThank you. I've been taking notes the entire time. As far as the basics in HTML I do ok. I haven't been able to upload any images. Apparently they're too big and I've been trying to resize them with no success.
