33 Pointsnot enough space in this text box to post my question : (
using tree house to learn how to build a website, the work space tells me to save a file as index.html and the video tells me to interact with the content yet there is no content to interact with? will I be adding this content in myself at some point? What the girl is showing already exists in this file. Where is this file at or?

9,597 Pointsas to the space in the text box, summarize your question in the first box, actually explain it in the second.
I don't clearly remember which part of the course you are in, but this may be one where you have to add things in yourself to get familiar with the basic page layout. If it is something like that, I tend to pause the video, so I can type out what they have on the screen.

This should cause your "index.html" file to be opened by your browser, at which point you should be able to interact with it.

Also, the text boxes expand if you need to put more lines than the box displays initially.
