i'm trying to follow along with the lesson but i'm not exactly sure what you're using to edit the html. are you just using a simple text editor or a workspace? if you're using workspaces how do i do that? sorry if this is a dumb question i'm just a little confused...

Sorry for posting this off-topic, but I'm helping Treehouse investigate a potential issue with their webserver. Please follow this link and leave a comment saying if you have experienced this webserver issue or not.

Really you could follow along however you like, if you are a beginner I would suggest using the workspaces. This can be done by clicking Launch Workspace at the bottom right of the video box.

Not if you just use a CDN http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#download

Under Bootstrap CDN, those are the tags to include in the <head> in your html

You can also use a text editor, such as Sublime. You can download and open both the source page HTML and the Bootstrap CSS files and make changes to the script that way.
