887 PointsThe <!DOCTYPE html> on the video is amber but the one from my Macbook is b&w. My page won't render. Is that problem?
All other elements of this layout appear to be correct but most of the items below my name are not showing.

<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Michael Morgan | Consultant</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>Michael Morgan</h1>
<h2>Consultant</h2>

47,353 PointsHi Michael,
When you say the "page won't render", do you mean that the colors of the html workspace editor are not the same as the colors in the Video workspace editor (i.e. the <!DOCTYPE html> is grey rather than amber)? If so, there may have been some updates to Workspace which changed the colors. As long as your HTML code is rendered properly when viewed in the browser (which it appears to be), there's no problem.

612 PointsHi Michael,
I took the code that you had posted and copied it into the workshop. I also found that when attempting to view it, nothing appeared. I have another program for text editing, called Brackets. I then copied your code into Brackets, and tested the code there. This time, your page appeared, displaying the text as intended. I am not sure if it was a problem with Team Tree Houses Workspace, as that has never happened for me before. You may try to go farther in the video tutorials, and see if the problem resolves itself as more code is added to your webpage. If you're problem still persists, I can help you with the set up process for Brackets, which is free software if you would like to test your code that way. I hope you find a way to fix the problem.
