Not talking about a website created in the Team Treehouse workspace btw. I have the HTML and Stylesheet URLs but not sure how to actually open them up. What platform do i use?

I wouldn't suggest making changes to live files though, I would either download the site and make the changes locally then re-upload or do the changes on a development server then deploy the changes to the live server.

This is free and will allow you to view the code and edit it as you please. This is also the software I believe that treehouse recommends using.
