Hey Dan,

I've started setting up the Portfolio based on your user guide. It's very very detailed. So thank you for that!

Quick things I think you'll need to correct in your article:

1.  When you had configured the port to run on 9090, then I think the server would be running on localhost:9090 and not on localhost:8000 as you had indicated in your article above.
2.  touch gatsby.config.js needs to corrected to touch gatsby-config.js.

If there are other things, I'll mention it as I go through them. Thank you!

[Dan Norris](https://hashnode.com/@norrisdan) thank you. Actually I got pulled into another project which pays me money :-) hence this is on hold for the moment. But I desperately want to get back to it. Also, I know basic css and bootstrap. How much of tailwind should I know?
