2,704 PointsMaryanne, "Ports" are part of the software layers of internet internals. TCP/IP port 80 is used most often for HTTP communications. Though one can use other ports. For example, using a secure connection (HTTPS) would probably use port 443.
If you want to know more browse to wikipedia's "port 80" web page.
Hope that helps, Adam

808 PointsHi Maryanne,
what u can do is, once u have made your changes to the index.html file, save your work and then, by clicking the "eye"preview icon choose your "default" port (which i assume will be 80), and then once browser window loads probably u wont see any changes, but once u refresh, they should appear.
Hope that helped. Please update us once tried this method. Happy coding!
