When I click the "preview" button I cannot get a preview. What step have I missed?

I am using the workspace to follow along. I have done exactly as the video has directed me, but when I click the preview button it opens another tag that should be the preview, but it has something that I wrote a long time ago and have since deleted. I am sure that I am missing something elementary. I am a little discouraged that I can't figure it out...I saved my work before I clicked preview...

make sure that you have saved your work- it wont work without saving.

OK, I figured out the basic step I missed. When I went to preview, I didn't "refresh" the page. Embarrassing, but I post in hopes of helping another poor soul who makes the same simple mistake.
