Question: I am trying to use the live server package which works pretty much like livereload for editor Atom. The server runs fine, but the files do not get automatically refreshed whenever I make changes + save the files.. 

Not sure if this is normal, but when I open up the server on the browser, I am forwarded to a directory with all the files on the server. How do I change this so that the server renders HTML only and refreshes every time changes are made?

Answer: 
You haven't set the project folder for the live-server to operate from, or you've saved the file you want to view outside of where it is running from. 

In the project window on the left, add the project folder that you are using, and remove anything else. Or save your file in that location.
I fixed it by adding the `<head>` and `<body>` tags to the html file I was editing. (even though I don't always include them anymore at least one is needed for the "Live reload" server to work.)
