3,230 PointsStuck on website html editor on the first project
Trying to add the title tag this is from the project editor: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Smells Like Bakin' Cupcake Company<title/> <head/>
<body>
</body> </html>
I think this is correct but in the website its telling me its wrong. Did anyone else get stuck on this?

I would re-watch the video and take notes on a piece of paper, write down what you think is the most important parts.
I guess you are trying to add a title tag to "Smells like bakin' Cupcake Company"
The <!DOCTYPE> declaration is not an HTML tag; it is an instruction to the web browser about what version of HTML the page is written in.
This should give you a little clue. But I would re-watch the video if I were you!
Good luck

7,329 PointsYes I agree. For me notepad++ was a better choice when I first started.
I would create a folder on your desktop. In the folder you can place all the images you need. When you are saving your HTML or CSS save it into the same folder. That way everything is neet and organised

Along with what Jack said, make sure that your file directories are correct and that they are pointing to the correct files (gif and jpg). That is another issue you could potentially run into. Also, another issue I personally encountered was missing angle brackets or mistyping the code. So, make sure you look over your code closely within the html editor that you are using.
Most importantly, do not give up! Believe me, once you figure out the problem to something you are working on; there is a huge sense of pride and gratification that comes along with it!

3,230 PointsThanks guys for your help it is most welcome, all my work is in a folder now in sublime called treehouse project all css and html files are in there, what i found is not clear is the setup of sublime with browser....you have to open the index file in your browser....this was not clear....nor was droping all files into sublime in 1 folder. I am enjoying this very much and thank you Jack and Eric, Albert for your replies. I am going to stick with sublime as I like it.
