First of all make sure you are saving the files after any changes (CTRL+S) or else the changes wont display. And second, when changing the "#" in the anchor element, make sure the filename is typed exactly as it was saved in the directory (exp. "resume.html").

You're using an absolute file reference here to a file in the root folder. Is it possible that the file is in a subfolder?

Also check for spelling including capitalization. The file system in the workspaces is case sensitive.

If you still can't find the issue, try making a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

John Gonzalez — If that works, you can mark the question solved by choosing a "best answer".
And happy coding!

That is because it is not linked yet and you have to add the resume.html to the end of your web page.

I had the same problem. It was case sensitive when i typed in <h1> RESUME </h1>. I would type in "/resume.html. I changed the "<h1>Resume</h1> and it came up fine !

In the first exercise, we set up the resume.html page. In this second exercise, it is deleted; so I deleted the syntax. I cannot go back to the first exercise. What is the syntax and where does it fit in the head?

I created the resume.html file, I hit control s to save. For some reason I am still seeing the introduction workspace on the left hand side which is making it so that I can only see the introduction website and not the one that we are just starting to build. Should I just delete all the other files? I will try that because I am trying to continue with the program. Edit: Deleting the files did not work. I seem to be unable to display the page using workspace.
