Hi guys! I just finished my editing the code for my first web page. (The class where you edit Joy's code to your name/pics) I edited and saved but it doesn't show up when I press the preview button. I tried clearing the browser cache after reading answers to other students who had the same problem but its still not showing up. Any tips? Thanks in advance for helping a beginner! :)

Hi! This may sound really silly, but make sure you saved the file. If it's not saved there will be an orange dot on the tab. After you're sure you've saved, make sure to refresh the browser. If this still doesn't work, let us know! :sparkles:

Hi Jennifer! Thanks for such a quick reply! I did save both tabs and cleared my browser cache and refreshed the page. Still nothing! The tab in the browser has my title but the page is blank....

Ok well let's have a look at your workspace then. You can view instructions to making a snapshot here. This will allow us to fork (or copy) your workspace and take a look at your code and file structure :smiley:

Hi there! I found it. In your HTML file you are missing one single opening angle bracket which is causing the rest of your HTML to not be rendered. You have this line:

<title>Maria's Next Chapter/title>

But it should be:

<title>Maria's Next Chapter</title> <!-- note the "<" before the "/title>"

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

It was something little! Thank you so much for taking the time to help me! :)
