Issues with Heading Line

When trying to preview my heading line it brings up Nick Pettit's name instead of my own.

Hi Johnny - the code for the h1 headline tag will bring up whatever is written in between the h1 tags so you need to change the name 'Nick Pettit' to your own there, like below:

<h1>Example Name</h1>

Then make sure you save your html file before you preview it in workspaces.

I have my name between <h1> </h1> and have saved it. I've even deleted the automatic Nick Pettit tab and it gives me (Index of / Index.html) when previewing.

If you post your code here and then maybe someone can look through it and see for any potential errors.

You need to put your code inbetween two sets of ' ``` ' three back ticks in order for it to show up in the forums.

Well your code is correct - the best thing to do would be to start a new html document in workspaces, re-write the basic head section with DOCTYPE etc in it compared to the last workspace you have, then in the body section put your h1 code and nothing else and see if it previews ok then? If not then maybe you have a problem with workspaces and should contact tech support.

Hi Johnny, I had the same issue as you where the h1 tags were still showing in the Preview, so I contacted Support regarding a possible Workspaces issue. However, I kept going to the next section "Add Style to the Page" and did the coding exercise. This time it showed up correctly in Preview, so maybe there is an issue with the first section. I am still waiting for an answer from Support but at least I was able to keep going and make some progress. I hope this helps.
