Why is my viewer not following my workspace commands? My name is not turning blue, started since I've used port 80,

I decided to start from scratch again, but I'm beginning to feel that my rules are not being followed in my workspace from viewer. Copied the commands Nick put in the video.

Francesca,

Hello! Can you post your code (the Markdown Cheatsheet shows how) so we can look and help? It's not hard, and if you do it wrong you can see it and change it. Good Luck,
Jon

I am also not seeing any changes on the site I'm creating. Perhaps there is a bug somewhere? It seems that there are a couple of students that are unable to see changes. Mine started ever since I've been using Port 80.

Francesca sorry for the late response, was doing my own track, with my own frustrations! If you haven't already, get a text editor (Sublime or Notepad ++,(you will need it eventually, and initially, free). That way you can check your code in another way. I understand that Workspaces is still new, with various bugs being worked out as they update. I've seen a lot of problems in the forum tonight, I assume it's buggy. But not all the instructors use Workspaces, so I would try to get familiar with using downloads and a text editor while Workspaces is wonky. Treehouse should have it up and going glitch free tomorrow, I'm guessing. Wow, I'm wordy, but I had to do all of the above!!

I already switched to Mozilla Firefox and still the same thing. Port 80 seems not to work with color changes/ syntaxes. Help please. And thanks in advance. I just feel that it is such a shame to start over again especially since it looks like it wasn't me that was the problem.

Hi Jon!

No worries at all. I appreciate you helping me out. Yes, I can see in the forum that workspace is not functioning well as of late. Thank you for the tip regarding Sublime and Notepad. Will look into it. Checked and double-checked my code, and yes I'm pretty sure that it's totally fine, thanks for validating that. Have a good day ahead. Will check Workspaces again tomorrow.

Best regards, Chesca

Hi All!

I'm still stuck with Workspaces. This simple exercise is still not making it blue. I'm using Port 80. Can anybody help me?

Thanks, Chesca

Have you tried using Workspaces again? It worked for me today.

Hi Erica. Good for you.

Unfortunately, no luck for me. Will probably give it one last go. If not, will probably just stop my account since something as simple as this cannot seem to be resolved. But-- thanks!
