Workspace isn't launching!

I click on the green 'Launch Workspace' button and it doesn't load properly but instead just opens up a blank white window

Any Help?

I was having the same issue using Google Chrome. Nothing worked except closing out of the browser completely (all windows/tabs) and re logging into Treehouse. After I did that it worked properly. Good luck, I hope this helps.

What browser are you using? Try using a different browser. Personally I prefer to use Chrome, Firefox and IE both have given me issues before. Good luck!

Try right click, open in new window. Or. Make sure no pop-up blockers are engaged.

Do you have any add-ons installed, pop up blockers turned on, or firewalls set up? Is your browser up to date? Do you have flash enabled?

On the left hand side of the screen, about midway down there is a selector called workspaces. open that. Does it have a file already called "How to Make a Website"? If not you can start a new one. It might circumnavigate your problem.
