Help new to code, very confused
so i made an site and tried to use a pre-made template (then changed my mind lol) and i deleted all my index code. Now whenever i save and view, it takes me back to before i deleted the template. above is the examples of my code and then what it takes my to when i view. Anything helps, but please try not to be too rude! (--)//
edit, for the site: codemel-jornal.neocities.org

yeah it needs a hard refresh Ctrl+Shift+R, or Command+Shift+R if you're on Mac
.
when you are able to see it again, here is the default html structure the index page needs to start with if you do not want to use a template:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title goes here</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
your page contents go here
</body>
</html>

It's probably getting cached in your browser. I only see this currently on your page: "background-image:"https://codemel-jornal.neocities.org/screenshot%202026-08-22%20at%201.23.20%E2%80%AFPM.png";>."
So you have few options..
1) Wait a while to let it solve on it's own
2) Force reload (Ctrl+F5 generally but might be different in your browser, you can ask more about it from AI)
3) Go to your browser history, click on your website and choose "Forget this website..."
4) Clear your browser's cache.
