I am trying to replicate the Plotting given on the Plotly guide - [Log plots in Julia](https://plot.ly/julia/log-plot/) but I keep getting errors:

MethodError: Cannot convert an object of type Array{Array{Pair{String,Any},1},1} to an object of type PlotlyBase.Plot  
This may have arisen from a call to the constructor PlotlyBase.Plot(…),  
since type constructors fall back to convert methods.  
in plot at PlotlyJS\src\display.jl:66  
in #plot#1 at PlotlyJS\src\display.jl:66  
in PlotlyBase.Plot at bas

How can this be fixed? Thank you in advance!

trace1 = [  
“x” =\> [1, 2, 3, 4],  
“y” =\> [10, 15, 13, 17],  
“type” =\> “scatter”  
]  
trace2 = [  
“x” =\> [1, 2, 3, 4],  
“y” =\> [16, 5, 11, 9],  
“type” =\> “scatter”  
]

response = Plotly.plot([trace1, trace2], [“filename” =\> “basic-line”, “fileopt” =\> “overwrite”])  
plot\_url = response[“url”]

I just tried a few examples from this site, too. I think all the examples on the website are broken.
