Loading the HTML file into Chrome Developer Mode

I can find developer mode and I can cut and paste my own code into the environment. But I can't figure out how to navigate to the actual HTML file with the code, including the JavaScript. My cut and pasted code has the right words ("Introduction to Programming") but the JS console messages don't come through. Thanks in advance.

You have to create the HTML file - pause the video at 0:56 then type the HTML that is on the screen into a text editor (if using using Windows Notepad be sure to save it with UTF-8 encoding at the bottom of the 'Save As' dialog) and save it as `index.html' into a folder of your choice, just remember where it is.

Once that is done open that file in your browser and open the Dev Tools. From there you should be good, but if not be sure to ask!

Good luck. :-)
