Re: my webpage on GitHub: What does it mean "Echo is on"?

[kestrell]

When I try to look at kestrell7.github.io all I hear is Jaws saying "Echo is on." Over the past week I've been learning some Git bash commands using Coursera and bitbucket, and I'm wondering if something got reset somehow?

My older kestrell13.github.io website, which I haven't updated in over a week, is still there and sounds okay.

What does echo on GitHub refer to?

The source of that page agrees--all it says is "ECHO is on". So, yeah I'm going to guess something got overwritten somewhere. (I wonder--do the dev tools built into Firefox and Chrome work at all for you? Press F12 to use them or turn them back off again; it opens extra panes that let you do things like see the source code of any web page.)

YOU ARE SO AWESOME!!!

You are my hero of the day! (but it's kind of late, so you can still be my hero tomorrow).

I was trying to remember how to view the source, which is really stupid, because it's right there on the menus, but the instructor gave an alternative description which was a lot mroe complicated and which I totally failed to figure out.

Anyway, I thought the echo message was happening on the GitHub end, but no, obviously something got overwritten in my index file at some point.

I can fix that.

Seiously. Hero.
