It's probably a bug.

I had just restarted building my website because when I went on to my website, all it said was: Index of /. And I did not do anything wrong. Please help!!!!!!! (P. S. The problem started when I wrote this line of code: <title>Chen Coello | Pictures of a full time traveling kid.</title>. And it is still going on.)

You'll often see the "index of" page when you don't have a index.html (or any other recognized index file) file in the directory, assuming the web service has been configured to serve up directory listings. Could you maybe just need to rename the file you're working on?

But I do have a Index.html file.

Hrm, that's very odd then. Is this running out of a Treehouse workspace or on your own web server?
