Here is the syntax: 

                <header>
                  <h3>How Schools Use Virtual Reality to Improve Education</h3>
                  <p>By: Nick Pettit</p>  
                </header>  
                <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vivamus ultrices euismod turpis eget porta. Etiam nulla massa, pretium et massa nec, ornare dignissim nisi.</p>
                <a href="articles/article.html">Read more</a>
                <footer>Published 1995</footer>

Check folder structure in your workspace, article.html is located in articles/2017/ folder so the path will be <a href="articles/2017/article.html">Read more</a>

The file path only worked for me if I typed it from scratch again. I have no idea why this is the case. Once I did it the new file paths worked. I had to do this each time the path was changed in the video.
