when I try and preview the first coding task - of my name - it comes up with Nick Pattit's name? Is my coding wrong?

after putting in the CSS and HTML basic stuff - the tutors name comes up on the preview. why doesn't my name? I seem to have his workspace and mine. The example file then mine.

Hi, Bee. One thing you might try is to hit the preview button and then once the browser page opens, hit refresh. I had the same issue and that fixed it for me. Might be some sort of bug with the setup. Also, make sure to save any changes you make before hitting preview.

Hope this helps!

Hi Jarick, yes, thanks, I tried all that but it still didn't work. I have a bee.html file, and tutors index.html. I tried deleting the tutors file but that didn't work. All I need to know is, is my code working. So I copied the code and put it onto the index.html of the teachers and now it works! My name in blue - awww. thanx Jarick.

Hi Bee, I think (as you seemed to have discovered) the problem was in the name of the file (index.html vs. bee.html), not at all a problem with your code. It wasn't a problem with your code because your name was displayed properly when you copied the information from bee.html into index.html. The Workspace program is automatically displaying the code in the "index.html" because this file is always the default page that is displayed for a website :) (if you're interested, here was an article from about.com that helped me understand it better: http://webdesign.about.com/od/beginningtutorials/f/index_html.htm)
