358 PointsQuestion regarding Text Editing
Team Treehouse,
I have downloaded Sublime Text 2 and have been following along in the Images and Lists video. When I click refresh in my index.html in my browser, it does not update as it does when Nick does it in the video. Though my text editor informed me at some point that I will need to purchase a license in order to access full features (paraphrase). Any ideas? Thanks!

You can type in a path in the web browser like "/users/admin/Documents/ThingYoureEditing.html" just the same as if you're typing a web address. Except it is pointing to the file you want. The other thing you can do is drag that file into your browser and when you let go, it will open the file for you.

Some browsers will try to reduce the time to load pages by storing content in its cache. Most browsers can be forced to clear their cache (on that specific page) by hitting either Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5.

358 PointsOk. I'll look into that. It also may be as simple as mistyping something into the sublime text editor but I've reviewed that several times and it appears to be correct so I'll look into your suggestion.

358 PointsI went back, copied and pasted the text from codepen and then saved it as Smell Like Bakin' and it worked. So I think I did two things wrong. 1. I mistyped into html and 2. I didn't use 'save as', rather I used 'saved' so it kept the name index.html...rookie, I know.

358 PointsCaleb,
Yea, I drug the file into my browser initially and it didn't work. I did notice that when Nick was saving his file, part of the path was "web'." Mine did not have that option. Not sure if that has anything to do with it. I don't think it should but in an effort to think it through and come to a solution.
