It seems that everything in my code is correct. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this.

Thanks for all of the help so far and let me know if the snap shot didn't work.

6,113 PointsI'm not seeing anything though when I hit preview now. I just get a "404 Page Not Found" page.

15,719 PointsI have no idea what you did, but it wasn't because of the snapshot. Fork that new snapshot I gave you. It'll give you a new workspace with your problems corrected.

15,719 PointsYou're welcome, Katherine. Since my answer was very helpful to you, you can mark it as best answer if you wish. Keep in mind what I said about the naming of the index file itself and about attributes in HTML. :)

15,719 PointsHi Katherine,
Check to make sure your index.html is spelled with a lowercase i and is spelled correctly. The Treehouse server, just like almost every hosting server, looks for "index" and then certain file extensions such as .html. If it doesn't find an index file, it will display the contents of the directory. If you have "Index.html" or any other spelling, capitalization, the server won't recognize the file as an index file.

15,719 PointsThe reason you're seeing bullets is that there are no styles on the page at all. List items in an unordered list <ul>, by default, show up as bulleted items. You are going to add styles in the course soon that will make your page look more presentable.
I also had to fix your <a> elements. You had ended them early and had left out the = sign in between the href and the value in the anchor element. Remember that any attribute in HTML requires an = sign and then a set of quotes, double or single (but not mixed).

6,113 PointsIt is correct in both the index.html file and within the HTML text when it is referenced as "index.html". Do you know if there is another reason of why it doesn't seem to recognize it?
