68 Pointsapp.js file not connecting - won't turn red
For one, the app.js is under the CSS folder rather than the main Javascript folder. I'm not sure if that is the reason it is not turning red. I get the feeling that it's not connecting right to the HTML file. Where the arrow is in the code, it is red in my example, as well as myHeading after it, unlike in your example. See below:

Can you either give us a link to your workspace or share your code so we can look at it? Without seeing the relevant HTML file I don't have a lot to go off of here and I can't tell what specific lesson you're on from your post.
To share the workspace you click the camera icon in the top right to take a "snapshot". This will provide you with a link that we can view and make our own versions of.
To post formatted code directly in the post use the markdown cheatsheet linked below the text box for formatting.
One thing I can offer is that the app.js file in your screenshot is not inside the CSS folder, so if you're trying to link to css/app.js that will not work. The arrow next to CSS that points to the right indicates that the folder is not expanded, so you're looking at files in the main directy. Try simply app.js instead.

68 PointsThank you Cameron. I didn't know about the snapshot, that's pretty useful.
I finally figured it out. i had forgotten to link the "app.js" within the index file.
<script src="app.js"></script>Stupid mistake, I was working on it forever trying to figure it out. Thanks again for your help.
