How do I set the character set? It won't let me go back and watch the video again.

I stepped away from my lesson for a week. I got stuck on the character set and text color part in my last sitting. Now I don't remember how to do it. I'm only able to re-watch the course trailer, not the video for this lesson.

Hi Loren, First off, it's not a good idea to use Upper case inside your tags. In HTML5, it doesn't matter. It's NOT recommended in HTML4, and its forbidden in XHTML. So, it's a really good habit to only use lower case lettering.

In response to your question it's

<meta charset="utf-8">

Also, to re-watch videos on the site, you just have to click the little circles near the top of the page. If it has a checkmark, you've completed that section. If you hover over the checkmark, it tells you what it is, and if you click on the checkmark, it takes you back to that lesson.

Hope all this helps. Keep coding. Jason :)
