Can't align images side by side? Also, the text will not turn grey.

Hi there, I think i've copied all of the correct code, but my preview still looks very different than the sample. What did I do wrong?

Yes. The code is correct, but the preview is not responding to my changes. This has never happened before.

Are you saving the file and refreshing the preview?

Hi Meagan,

I'm not 100% sure of the problem in this instance but one way to test this would be to create the same setup locally copying the code in to a text editor and saving as index.html, etc.

You could then view the website in your browser to determine whether it's a code issue or a problem with Workspaces.

Apologies I can't be more help but this should at least help you to narrow down the issue.

Thanks

Hi Rich, Thanks for your help. I think Treehouse is having a glitch problem. I logged out and reopened my workspace and it previewed th correct changes. However, now my header reads "Nick Pettit" although I changed it. See below: 

<!DOCTYPE html>

Hi Meagan,

I have to be honest, I'm not sure on this one. Is the code displaying your name and the website displaying Nick's?

Thanks
