1,872 PointsAdding a new page, still an issue after fixing case of name
I copied over the text from the index file to the about file as instructed, and I've made sure that "about" is all lower-case uniformly. When I preview the file with all the section text deleted (after saving the file), I still get the index page rather than the about page. When I click on the about link from the index page I can see the about page. But the preview page from about.html won't take me there directly.
Any idea of what I could be missing or doing wrong?

66,191 PointsAh, I see now what you are asking. You are not doing anything wrong, it loads both pages in the preview and index.html is your main page. Nick Pettit, who I am assuming is teaching the course, will show you how to link your about page to your index page. The preview doesn't load the page that you click preview on, it loads the whole page.
I hope this helps.

66,191 PointsHey, you must put 3 backticks at the beginning and end of your code so that it displays properly. Back ticks look like this: ' and are right above the tab on your keyboard.
Barbara Robertson
1,872 PointsThanks Devin. I've done this, but still seeing the same results. The index page appears when I try to preview the about page.
Devin Scheu
66,191 PointsIm talking about on the form post of your code, it is not displaying properly, you need to put 3 backticks at the beginning and end of your FORM post code. My apologies for being unclear.

1,872 PointsThanks Devin. The confusing part for me is that, in Nick's video demo of how it should look after pasted over, it shows the about page. But as long as I'm not doing something wrong, I'll run with it and see how everything proceeds from here.
Thanks again!
