Blink example does't blink

I am getting started with a new Photon and started with the Blink Example. I flashed the example and message said flash was successful. However, the Blue Led is not flashing at an 8 second rate. When the code was first uploaded there was rapid flashing of the blue LED. After several seconds the blue LED stopped flashing and stayed on.
`
What needs to be done to get the Blink example to work.

Core or Photon?

They said photon in the post.

Opps @AndyW thanks!

@hrh1818, I guess you are referring to the LED right beside pin D7? Can you try again and see what happens?

Yesterday I stumbled upon a Blink an LED example that didn’t blink. The version that didn’t blink was in a My Apps list. It appears the non blinking version was initially written for the Core, Today I found a Blink an LED that blinks in the Example Apps list. There were some minor differences between the two version. But nothing obvious that would keep one version from blinking.
