I have completely changed the code on my workspace, saved the changes, yet it stilll looks exactly the same.

When I preview it, it hasn't changed at all even though I deleted most of the text and added some of my own in the body, changed the author, title, even the colors. This isn't the first time I've altered code but it is the first time not one of those alterations effected the page.

I've been having this same problem since about 1:00 PM PST. All of the change's I've made to my "index.html" file using the workspace have been saving but none have shown up in the preview so far. For example: <body> <h1>This will still read "Peg Leg" In the preview window</h1> <h2>By Joy Kesten</h2>

Outside of closing and opening the workspace. It sounds like the css file isn't attached properly to the html file else, you have your css file perhaps above the normalize file which might be restyling the settings you are trying to change. Without seeing your actual files, I would start with that.

Another way to test this would be to use a very simple style change that would be beyond apparent like...

body:  {
   background-color: black;
}

or 

h1 {
   font-size: 50px;
}

Yeah, I don't know why it didn't work but I've moved on. It worked in the next segment just fine. Thanks for your reply.
