Cant echo data in welcome.blade.php

Hello guys ive been trying to learn Laravel and it's a lot of fun. I am running in to some problems.

I have 2 major problems. I am running on a cloud9 workspace and i can't get the site to display the welcome.blade.php. When i run my project i get the "Index of/" instead of it to actually load my site and welcome.blade.php.

My second problem is within my welcome.blade.php. Im trying to get some information and are using an if statement but it's not working at all. I read about how to present if statements in the documents but it's not working. Can anyone see what im doing wrong?

The code for the welcome.blade.php:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Laravel</title>

        <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:100" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

        <style>
            html, body {
                height: 100%;
            }

            body {
                margin: 0;
                padding: 0;
                width: 100%;
                display: table;
                font-weight: 100;
                font-family: 'Lato';
            }

            .container {
                text-align: center;
                display: table-cell;
                vertical-align: middle;
            }

            .content {
                text-align: center;
                display: inline-block;
            }

            .title {
                font-size: 96px;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="container">
            <div class="content">
                <div class="title">Laravel 5</div>
                @if(Auth::check())
                    <img src="{!! Auth::user()->avatar !!}">
                    <p>{!! Auth::user()->username !!}</p>
                    <p>{!! Auth::user()->steamid !!}</p>
                    <p><a href="logout">LOGOUT</a></p>
                @else
                    <p><a href="steamlogin">Log into steam</a></p>
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

and the code for the route:

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});
//Steam Login Route
Route::get('steamlogin', 'AuthController@login');

// Authentication routes...
Route::get('auth/login', 'Auth\AuthController@getLogin');
Route::post('auth/login', 'Auth\AuthController@postLogin');
Route::get('logout', 'Auth\AuthController@getLogout');

// Registration routes...
Route::get('auth/register', 'Auth\AuthController@getRegister');
Route::post('auth/register', 'Auth\AuthController@postRegister');
