Following Along with Workspaces in How to Make a Website

I'm unable to preview my work in the index.html file as a webpage in the web browser when clicking on the preview icon. I get a 'No data received' screen.

I appreciate any help in advance.

Are you using the Treehouse Workspaces to build your html file, or are you following along by creating files on your computer?

I went back and looked at the video you are viewing. This is showing you how to use workspaces. You won't have anything to preview until you actually build a project. You're not doing anything wrong and it's behaving as expected.

Thank you. I was actually following along Nick's presentation. For example, the first task is to type: <h1>my name</h1> but, when clicking the preview icon, I get the 'No data received' screen on my web browser.

I may be misunderstanding then. You'll want to make sure you've saved before previewing. If you have a red dot next to your "index.html" filename on the tab at the top of the screen, then you haven't saved. If you are still getting the error after saving, could you post your code so we can see what you have so far?
