I need some help to learn how to use the Sublime HTML editor with : http://teamtreehouse.com/library/websites/html/links/websites-part-1 This video asks to save a 'another page' as a new page, not a file. How do I do this with Sublime - I have Windows and am using sublime as an editor. The instructor seems to use MAC, and he doesn't show how to do this with Windows.
Has anyone that uses Windows successfully done this task?
I am saving these to a folder on my desk top named "Links" that has the added folder "my_directory". I have moved the "another_page" to "my_directory" but I can't get the links to work following the video.

Files in Sublime work sorta like "tabs" in an internet browser. Hope that's what you were asking about? Also, you can download the project files on the same page you are watching the video at. By doing that, you can compare your work to the instructor's.

432 PointsHey Sam,
Well, I seem to have the codes written right. I think it is just where my files are. My files are just like the downloaded ones, only they work and mine don't. My index file does not take me to the 'another_page.html'. So it obviously can't find the file. Did you complete this using Windows? Did you have this difficulty?

31,206 PointsCould it be that you are doing
<a href="my_folder/another_page.html">My Link</a>
instead of
<a href="my_directory/another_page.html">My Link</a>
because that's what you said you had named your subfolder in your original post?

I did check that early this morning. I was making that mistake, but I corrected it and I am still having the problem.

Treehouse TeacherHi Geneva,
Can you please post a code example, or provide a list of your file structure? This way, I can take a look at what's going on. Thanks!

Treehouse TeacherHi Geneva,
You can either create a codepen or check out the "Markdown Cheatsheet" link below this text box, which shows you how to add code snippets in the forum.
Thanks :)

I saved the HTML, then the second HTML or another_page as CSS so you could see the code.
