Hi Joel,

Can you explain what your doing exactly? Are you saving your work before viewing the changes?

yes. I've followed along with the coding steps from the videos, but still, no matter what I do, it only opens up to that page.

"nick pettit"

in chrome it goes to "nick pettit", in explorer it's just opens a blank page.

Are you able to look at my code on that link? Am I making a mistake?

I'm unable to view your workspace Joel.

If your following along and doing the same as Nick then the only explanation is thats its a bug with your workspace.
This isn't uncommon I'm afraid, you have a few choices,

  1. For now just watch the videos and use your own code editor to follow along.
  2. Contact Treehouse support via email.
  3. Just watch the videos and tomorrow things will just somehow work, thats what you will see usually happens if you search for workspace problems in the forum and read the responses there.

Sorry i can't help you out more Joel.

Are you using a Mac or a PC Joel?

There are a few choices for both, some free and some paid.

For the Mac I would suggest Sublime text, its free to try, fully featured and has some amazing add ons, the free trial is unlimited but once you get the hang of it it's only fair to buy it. Textwrangler too.

As for the PC, there is Notepad++ there are more i but I use a mac so i don't know them.
