Thanks everyone for joining!  Here is the link to the page we created together:

The HTML/CSS code for the content is on the bottom of the page, if you want to copy and tinker with it.  I'll post the link to the recording a little later when it finishes rendering.

Hi, I recently used the CANVA course to teach HTML / CSS to my high school class. I loved the curriculum but found that using Brackets, while pretty simple had some issues. My specific question is how can we export the Brackets files as a whole website so I can have my students share their content with me and I don't have to sit at individual pcs in order to view their work?

thanks for your help. (not sure this is the correct forum)
