I have been using a blank workspace to practice what I have been learning. I have been using the example workspaces to try and trouble shoot my issues. however I cant seem to find the issue. when I go to preview the web page I have created I get a blank page with 3 links in the upper left hand corner. one oink is the name of my page the other two are the image I added to my page, and the third is the css file. all are hyperlinked, and when you click on them you are taken to the correct location. just why does the web page not load immediately when I go to preview it. I really think I did something wrong in my html code.

When the web server receives a request that doesn't specify a specific html page, but only the root or subdirectory, it will look for a it will look for a default file called index which may be index.html, index.php, etc. In the absence of any file like that it can (if configured to do so) fallback to creating a list of files and directories with links like you see with your workspace.

Courses Plus Student 5,303 PointsAwesome thanks for the feedback. I didn't know that file name needed to stay as is. once I changed it back, everything worked as it should.
