Contact Page Still Looks Like Portfolio Page

I copied my About Page over to the new Contact Page file. Yet when I click on the Contact link, instead of showing something that looks exactly like the About Page, I am still seeing my Portfolio Page.

I have noticed that there is sometimes a very long lag between what I change and what renders in the preview. I don't know if this is a system bug or what. It's led me to ask these kinds of questions before only to see that the problem cleared up on its own a few hours later.

What are you developing with? Is this a WordPress site? HTML? I think we need some more info to be able to assist.

Never mind. For some reason, my Index page code had "index.html" stuck where "contact.html" should have been. I had to delete the line, save the page, then retype the line, and save again before it would accept that "contact.html" should stick.

I found this out by right clicking and looking at the page source!

Well done! Looking at the source code is always a good practice when debugging your site.
