Loading files into third party text editors

Greetings, I really liked the workspace that was made available for the first section how to build a website. I am now in the dive deep html lesson and have downloaded both text wrangler and sublime text. Now comes the embarrassing question part. How can I properly import files and create a folder like the one treehouse provides?

Well, I don't have much experience with Text Wrangler, but I work in Sublime Text for some time now, I can provide tutorial for it.

First of all, download your workspace files (file -> download workspace) and than unzip it. Go to Sublime text and in the toolbar go to File -> Open Folder -> Choose the unziped folder, that contains all the files of your website Grey panel on the left should appear and it should load the file tree of your folder. If it doesn't go to View -> Side bar -> Show Side bar

If you're starting you new own project make a new folder (e.g. on your desktop) and do the same thing as writtten above. Only it won't load and files or forlders since you haven't created any. So you just go to File -> New file and than File -> Save as a destination choose your project folder and it should appear in the project tree in Sublime text too.

Let me know if it helped and also, if you understood (english is not my marnity language) Frank
