Why doesn't my text display when I click view?

I have just started using the Workspaces and the index.html template. After I write between the first <p> tags in the body and try to preview my text nothing shows up. I copied the code to Komodo text editor and my text shows up when I preview it.

Any suggestions or anything missed?

I hate to present the painfully obvious, but: Did you save?

Perhaps you could show a snippit of the code in question?

Hello Kayla,

I have hit save, more than once, below is the stock code that came with index.html. I have only added a sentence to the <p> tags
