534 PointsStruggling with the file paths.
I can't seem to get my file paths to work. Here is my code:
<a href="articles/2017/article.html">Read more</a>
<li><a href="../../index.html">Home</a></li>
Thank you

534 PointsHello Steven, thank you for the suggestion. I took a snapshot of my workspace:

231,269 PointsIn the file index.html of the snapshot, the problem with the "Read more" code on lines 46 and 56 above is that the directory name "articles" is spelled with a lower-case "a" when the actual directory name is "Articles". On a case-sensitive filesystem (such as used in the workspaces), these names do not match.
Then in the file article.html of the snapshot, the reference to Home on line 14 is:
<li><a href=".../.../index.html">Home</a></li>
Notice that the prior directory references are composed of 3 dots, which is not correct. If you use 2 dots (as you showed above in the question) it should work.

And happy coding!

231,269 PointsThis could be a file organization issue, but we need more information to replicate it. Take a look at this video about Posting a Question, and perhaps also this one about sharing a snapshot of your workspace.
