501 PointsAbout page won't even show up?
I've made my about.html file in workspaces, but when I actually go into my browser and click on the "about" page, it doesn't even change the url. It flashes like it's reloading the page, but I just keep getting the portfolio/home page. What is going on?

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsHi Taylor, Your code does look okay.
If I remember this course correctly, I think Nick has the pages all the same in the beginning. You said that it looks like it's "re-loading," so when you look up at the address bar, does the address change from ...../index.html to ......about.html. ? If it does, the link is working, the pages are just identical.

2,917 PointsEverything looks right to me based on the code you gave us. Have you double-checked your work in the index.html to make sure the href was properly directing to about.html?
<ul> <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html" class="selected">About</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> </ul>
<ul> <li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> </ul>
<ul> <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html" class="selected">Contact</a></li> </ul>
Make sure your Portfolio and Contact pages have the proper <a href> links. Sometimes you may overlook simple spells/punctuation.
