763 PointsWhen attempting to load my "about" page it does not load. I get a BLANK webpage. All links to my about page are correct.
I have checked my links and spelling and syntax are correct. The page is blank and will not load. My about.html is in the MAIN folder as it should be and spelled correctly. Please help me troubleshoot.

763 PointsNope. Page refresh wasn't doing it. I cleared my cookies and cache which has done the trick. Thanks for your time guys!

If you are using chrome, I'd highly recommend turning on "disable cache (while DevTools is open)" under the developer tools settings: https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/settings . Then whenever you have the developer tools open it won't cache the pages that you're on.

25,869 PointsHi Angela,
If you wrap the code in your post in 3 back ticks (```) at the start and end it should display in a code block for us to view.
For example:
<p>This code is wrapped in 3 back ticks.</p>
Thanks

It actually looks like it's working to me. If you put some text between the <section>
and </section>
tags, you should see it appear on the page. Try it out and let me know if it works.
Angela Smith
763 PointsBut my navigation and footer should still be there even if I have no content in the <section> tags.

Courses Plus Student 15,815 PointsWhen I follow your link above, I see the navigation and footer. You don't?
Angela Smith
763 PointsNope! Let me try resetting the browser.
Rich Bagley
25,869 PointsHi Angela,
I can also see the header and footer fine from that link. Just looks to be missing the main content as Shawn mentions.
Thanks

Courses Plus Student 15,815 PointsYou probably don't need to completely restart the browser...maybe just a page refresh next time this happens.
