Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,897 PointsKRIS NIKOLAISEN for some reason I cant respond to your below post. the workspace used was the default one and the commands that are giving errors were entered under console.log so cant really post it here as such. I followed the video info as prescribed.
The only change that I made to get it to work properly was the name of the const. nothing else.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Student 13,897 Pointsso seems like there's some issue with the const "myParagraph". when I change the given name to const "testIt" then the code works as shown in the video.
I am using the default workspace provided for the video and I also deleted the workspace and restarted it anew to assure that it was not a change I had made by mistake.
