I like sublime text 2 too. Just a quick tip if you grab that one: When you start a page, go to View, and down to Syntax. Select HTML for your html pages and CSS for your CSS. Then for those pages it will behave much like workspaces did.

I actually started doing all my Treehouse class work inside of Sublime Text 2 instead of workspaces, just so that I could be used to how it works. Just copy and paste the works you've already completed into new pages. Please note that this is a little bit trickier, because I also had to set up WAMP server in order to do previews. It's another hoop to jump through, but I recommend it since you'll probably want to know how to do that in the future anyways.

Yes, you can use workspaces and yes you can use other programs. If you're to the point that you are ready to publish your website you would need to save files from workspaces somewhere else.

You should find a text editor that you like. I use Sublime Text 2 and I've used Notepad++ (totally different than Notepad that comes with Windows), but there's also Atom, Brackets, and other options. From what I've seen, Sublime Text seems to be pretty popular.

Once you have a text editor, create your html and css files in it, save them to a folder for your webpage. Previewing your webpage is as easy as opening the folder for your webpage and double clicking on your index.html file.

Hope that helps.
