If you are just reloading the existing preview window you will need to close this and reopen it as looking at the link you have just sent there its still trying to direct via the folder you have just deleted.

Try this link instead http://port-80-oj4b2tuv7a.treehouse-app.com/ (notice the removed index.html/ from the end [your old folder])

also as I mentioned you still don't have a style sheet on here yet this will make the image load rather large as standard so bare that in mind.

Some simple styling might help like this.

Hope that helps solve the issues you've been having.

My pleasure.

I am glad you've got it working now.

The problem solving will come with time and experience, I'm always making mistakes and spending time fixing them only to find its something silly I've done wrong. That's all part of the learning process though.

Happy coding!

Might be worth checking your class on your html for the Facebook anchor.

I have just used your css code and its working for me.

Your html for facebook should look something like this

<li class="facebook"><a href="xxxxx facebook profile link xxxxxxxxxx">Profile</a></li>

If you can share a snapshot that would help but that is a possible cause as the css selectors and code is correct.

Sir....you did it once again!!!

Thank you Billy you have a knack for this!

I had....

<li class="Twitter"><a href="xxxxx facebook profile link xxxxxxxxxx">Profile</a></li>

I wrote "Twitter" as my class not "Facebook" .

How's your day so far?

Hey Walter,

I'm good thanks, how are you doing?

Whats causing you the issue is the image not uploading to workspaces or is the image just no displaying?

If the image isn't display but is in the workspace then try the following:

  1. Check the src value in your HTML is matching the files location and file name.
  2. Ensure the newly added img is inside the folder named img and not just floating freely outside. (This can be misleading sometimes if files are not into a folder but sitting under the folder, ensure you drag the file onto the folder itself).

As always if you can create a snapshot that would be helpful. Icon top right of screen > create snapshot > share the weblink in here once created.

Hope that helps a little if nothing else.

Hey bud,

I have found the issue now I can see your code.

Because you have places your index HTML inside a folder the source code you have written cannot find the img folder in the index folder therefore you need to navigate out of the index folder before specifying the img folder.

This can be done like this.

<img src="../img/Music.jpg" alt=""> 

remember in the src "../" means navigate up one level.

This should resolve the issue.

Alternatively removing the index from its folder will solve the issue without needing to change the src value u places to begin with.

Hope that helps

Thanks Billy I deleted the extra "index.html"

now my screen looks like this... https://w.trhou.se/vkh4b42yqq

But when I preview my page I get this... http://port-80-oj4b2tuv7a.treehouse-app.com/index.html/

What am I doing now lol...sorry Billy I'm really lost.

Hi Walter,

Based on the updated snapshot you have correctly removed the extra HTML folder which means you src is now valid for the folders you have in your project.

With the code you have written the page is populating just fine what seems to be the issue, were you expecting something different?

Bare in mind at the moment you have no CSS being applied to this page at all so it it loading under your browser defaults.

Is there something in particular you are trying to achieve?

Hi Billy! I got it!!! I had to go to Chrome and delete my cookies. Thanks for all your patience. I believe that being a good coder involves solving problems I will get there lol. Again, you rock! Happy Coding!

You have a missing semi-colon

#secondary { 
  width: 40%;   <<missing semi-colon here
  float: right;
}

Might be the reason why?

Hope that helps

I tried doing the Snapshoot of the previous issue I have(still unresolved) but couldn't get it to upload.

The issue is that on my contact page the facebook icon on the right column of contact details doesn't show?

Do you see an error here....

.contact-info li.phone a { background-image: url('../img/phone.png'); }

.contact-info li.mail a { background-image: url('../img/mail.png'); }

.contact-info li.facebook a { background-image: url('../img/facebook.png'); }

Your welcome!

I don't yet no. Only been learning to code for a couple of months now heading that way eventually though.

Is it only the facebook icon that is missing or all 3?

This ones hard to tell without the code in front of me.

Hi Bill how are you? I can't get my image to upload...

<img src="img/Music.jpg" alt=""> 

Have you had trouble with workspaces? I've tried it on sublime 3 and it works fine.

Hi Billy how was your day? Sorry to bug you I am curious to ask. Have you considered taking Treehouse's Techdegree program(certificate that also envolves creating a portfolio)?

Take care.

Hey bud,

I am good thanks hope you are too.

I'll be honest its a bit expensive for my pocket currently but I have started building my own portfolio myself though.

For now I will continue working through content on TreeHouse and work on my own little projects on the side to build my portfolio.

How about you something your interested in?

I'm doing well thanks. I'm redoing the "build your first website" (for practice) and also doing some tutorials for photoshop.

Yes, I do agree it is expensive for me as well. That's a good idea what you're doing. I was planning on doing the same thing here too. You know there seems to be a lot of demand in this field here but, I'm sure there must be a lot of competition too lol! But, seems like you are well on your way keep up the great work! Hey man, you got FB? Maybe I can add you? If, you're ok with that.

Good plan I am finding just doing things more they become more second nature.

I also found the tracks quite useful to give myself some structure to my learning, so far I have done the web design and front end development tracks. Lots of over lap in those too also.

Yeh from what I can see there is plenty of opportunity in this field but yes I am sure its a very competitive area to work in also. Hence the need for a portfolio to help showcase your best work and what you can do.

I have facebook and google+ links to both of them should be on my TreeHouse profile if you would like them.
