What specifically are questions 2 and 3?

Your "About.html" and "Contact.html" simply need to be changed to all lower-case.

Gregory, I tried that but it still says: Bummer! The Portfolio list item should link to "index.html". So I cant procede. Thanks Jim

Here's an idea. I agree that you need to change the first letter of each to lower case as file names are case sensitive. Also, class="selected" if I remember this course correctly. I'm still not 100% sure what the "question" is I can see some problems that might be causing the error.

<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>

I did the same thing 4 times and it worked the 4th time. Still not sure why Thank you everyone for your help Jim

Could you post the code that finally worked? You changed absolutely nothing between the 3rd and 4th attempt?

Yes, I kept copying and pasting the same code I uploaded before and then it worked on 4th try

Yeah, I occasionally run into glitches (possibly bugs?). I've completed the CSS basics course yet it's still indicating my next steps in that course every time I return to my Frontend Dev track. I wonder how to report stuff like this, probably opening a ticket to Treehouse's support. It's probably helpful to them to know about things that go wrong.

Yes, Neil, I agree and Im in touch with Walter at support. It was weird cause when it accepted it it didn't do the usual congratulations and opened the next video automatically

Cool, if you know the support person by name that's a good sign. They must have good support. I'll try it out.

BTW, I had no idea how much fun coding can be. A day off from work and there's really nothing I'd rather be doing. I'm not sure if that's sad or cool. :-)
