Using Sublime with lessons

I have been entering the code along with the videos into Sublime, but I was wondering if I should also be previewing my code in my own web browser, or just go along with the video. I don't have the files like the images, css, etc set up on sublime, did I miss a step? I've just been typing the code in

Thanks!

Have you been downloading the project files?

no! where can i grab those from?

You will find them under the right corner of the video screen. (If there are any). Under "Downloads". If this doesn't make sense then I can message you a picture showing you where they are.

Many of the video lessons have a link, to the right of the browser window, for downloading the project files.

Perfect, I found and downloaded the project files. Now can you help me with what I'm supposed to do with them? I can't find a video explaining it. I think I have the index.html set up correctly on my sublime, but not the css. It doesn't read style.css like in the videos, the titles is the beginning of my code (body {)

Which lesson is this?

Currently I am working on Build a Simple Website/ Styling Content/ Writing CSS.

Throughout the lessons thus far I have just been writing the code into Sublime without any project files or anything (didn't realize I had to download them). Now I am wondering if I have everything set up correctly.

If the code looks any different then that normally just means that they want you to change the code to whatever the're doing.

I wouldn't worry about the project files that much unless you want to learn with them. I just found out about them so I'm probably not going to go back. But if you want I think, (by just looking at how many points you have), there is still time for you to go back without having to redo to much work.

one thing to watch out for is the "jump" in project files as a course porgresses youll nottice that alot of stuff has been tweeked since the last video take website waters 1 to website waters 2 youll start out able to make the website yourself following in the video but as soon as the css starts youll find ALOT has been changed and tweeked its kinda hard to keep track of the files

Thanks for the input everyone!
