Ayesha, you should look for the naming of your about.html file, it should not be capitalized.

Hey Ayesha,

Ayesha,

You've posted your code for your index.html page, could you post you about page html.

Here is a link to explain how to use Markdown to post your code How to post code

If you look at the bottom of the box when your typing a reply you will see Markdown Cheatsheet that will also explain how to post your code.

You have to make sure you have a bit of space under your last line of text in your post. Then you add three back ticks followed by html or css depending on the type of code your inserting.
Then straight after your last line of code you add another three back ticks.
Remember to leave at least a few lines between any text at the top or bottom of your code.

alt text

Hope this helps.

Hi Again,

Thanks for posting your code. I have had a look and i have found something that might be causing your problem. If you look below your opening header tag there is a anchor element that contains you h1 and h2 elements, the closing anchor tag </a> is not indented correctly. This could be the problem, correct this and try to load the page again.

<header>
  <a href="index.html" id="logo">
    <h1>Ayesha Ghayas</h1>
    <h2>Designer</h2>
  </a>

I hope this helps.

Hey Dean & Ayesha,

It's okay, indentation won't cause this problem.

You're right about that Dean :)
As long as you have all the necessary code, indentation will never make a difference, its only a visual help to allow you to read the code clearly.

Hi Ayesha,

I notice that your code isn't in html, head or body tags. Maybe you just didn't include it in the snippet, or maybe you left them out. If it's the second case, try this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Ayesha Ghayas | Designer</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400,400italic,700,700italic,800' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
</head>

Sorry, I was having trouble with the formatting. Do you have the html, head and body tags in your code? Check out my snippet now and let me know if it helps.

Make sure both your index.html and about.html files have these tags.

Hey Elizabeth,

Ayesha does have those tags, they just couldn't be seen as her post wasn't formatted correctly. I have fixed that issue.

Good spot Elizabeth.

Ayesha, I would suggest watching the lesson again. Maybe you missed some vital information. Also make sure your code is a replica of Nicks.

I have had to watch videos several times before I started to understand the info.
