6,291 PointsNewbie using WorkSpaces
I did the newbie track of "How To Create a WebSite" and followed along making my own custom site. I finished the entire learning track but not the site I started out to create. So now I have to keep launching my old WorkSpace site to work on it. My question is, is WorkSpaces designed to be used as a stand-alone HTML Editor? Now that I finished the track, it seems its behaving oddly.....but it certainly could be my coding. I cant seem to add pages or get links to work like I could before for some reason. Do I need to go out and get an HTML editor to finish my site?

15,134 PointsYou should definitely be able to use Workspaces to complete projects that aren't associated with a specific lesson. I did this when I first started here. However, I would definitely recommend getting your own editor for personal and/or professional projects. You'll have more functionality and you won't depend on the Treehouse site being up for it to work.
Sublime Text is great and is free to try for an indefinite amount of time.
Atom is new and very similar to Sublime, but is completely free and open-source. Made by the people behind GitHub.
You could also use a simple text editor, too. Just try a few out and see what you like!
