Hey Ryno Botha, can you please tell me where I may be going wrong.....I have created my "Contact" page, but for some strange reason, the browser keeps on saying "..../index.html" instead of "...contact.html"...I have followed the tutorial several times over, refreshed the browser and still no where.....Would appreciate your help if you're able to...Thanks...

in the contact.html it should look like this:

<nav>
     <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html" class="selected">Conatct</a></li>
     </ul>
</nav>
