Why is my website displaying as a blank page after uploading to Cyberduck?

I've had a lot of trouble over the past couple of days with successfully uploading my website. I finally figured out how to successfully connect to Cyberduck after a lot of trial and error but now that I've uploaded everything according to Nick's directions, visiting my website leads to a blank page- no html or anything.

Can someone please help me out? I really just want to get my site up and running so that I can keep moving forward and learning more!

Thanks

One difference I've noticed is that my CSS files are being opened through the text editor software, Atom, for some reason. It looks like Nick's are being uploaded with the Safari icon while his html files are under Chrome. Could this difference be the root of my problem?

Cyberduck is a FTP app where you transfer your files to a server (you don't connect to Cyberduck or upload to it). You have purchased some server space & a domain name? Right? Make sure the files are being uploaded to the correct server / directory. Start with a real simple html file to check. Probably be a folder www or public_html inside your server area where you put your site (files).
