Resume page - receiving 404 not found error

When I try to add /resume.html to the url, I receive a 404 not found error. Thought I followed the tutorial, but can't figure out why it doesn't work for me. Thanks!

Just a guess, but are you sure you need an absolute path (starting with "/")? Maybe you need a relative path instead.

If you still have trouble, to facilitate a complete analysis, make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.


On viewing the snapshot, it seems the link is pointing to "resume.html", but the file name is "Resume.html". Since the workspace OS has a case-sensitive filesystem, it's not finding the file.

To fix it, you can change either the link href to capitalize the name, or rename the file itself with all lower-case.

the capital R in Resume.html was it for me, thank you!
