Problem with Web Design projects

Hello,

I’m trying to practice “Make a website projects” section but not able to see the results of my code in localhost:8000 page. Just wondering if there’s a technical problem or did I understood the instruction incorrectly? Does everyone have the same problem? I’m eager and excited to go through this project, so please help. Thanks!

Vi

You have to use http://localhost:8000 but only AFTER you accomplished the point where they write…. you can use http://localhost:8000 after….

I’m not sure I understand you clearly Leon. I did use http://localhost:8000 and type in my code, saved, but nothing worked

Would you care clarifying more leon, your answer is too brief and ambiguous

ViVi, for me I always like to do Codecademy projects locally on my laptop. You simply copy the code into local files and save them with same name and extension (i.e. .html or .css and put them together in their own folder). You get more information and practice about all the required files and links for the project to work on its own outside Codecademy website - (check for these files at the head section of the html as well as any script linked to say Jquery library, just before the closing tag at the end of the body) - with similar experience to real world projects and the confidence that comes with it. As a bonus you get the added benefit of using your favorite code editor (I recommend Sublime Text, Brackets or Notepad++ the simplest one but quite effective as well).

Thank you for your kind reply. I’ve already done this Leon. I am not satisfied with that answer as the link provided by Codecademy did work with their first project “Broadway”.

I’ve reported this broken link to Codecademy as well as bug in their interface.
