Help!! I was changing the color for my bottom header border when all of my pages have disappeared. Nothing shows.

I am in the process of applying for Code Louisville. I was in the process of changing the color for my bottom border in my header. I was following the video and when I refreshed the page. Now, nothing shows. When I click the refresh button to see my web page, nothing is showing, only blank white pages. I have gone over the video again to make sure that the code is the same that he has but nothing is showing when I refresh the page to view my website.

Help?

Yes!! Exactly!! That's a relief to know that you can see it. Unfortunately, when I click on preview, I get a blank page. Should I just keep going and follow along with the video, even though I can't see my work?

When you click preview and it opens up in the browser, press F12 to bring up the browser's developer tools then click on the console tab. Are there any errors there?

Are there any errors in your console?

What is my console? (not trying to be ignorant but really don't know)

Oh. I see it. It's below my workspace right? I apologize. What kinds of errors should I be looking for?

No worries. Just wondering if there were any errors at all. If you make a snapshot of your workspace, I can take a look at it if you'd like.

Hmm. I'm not sure what the problem is. Is this what it's supposed to look like?

If you don't mind checking: do all of the links work, for instance when you click on About, Portfolio, and Contact?

Haha, good deal. Just curious, what did you do to fix it?

I talked to a nearby coder friend of mine and she said the "refresh" may have gotten backlogged. I would love to say that I fixed it but it popped up on it's own. I think patience was all it needed. Thanks so much for your help. I needed another pair of eyes. It kept me from freaking out when I was on the verge of doing so :-)
