Do you have the folder path named ARTICLES? and is it directly in the same folder as the index.html page? Also, why all uppercase? I have also noticed that you have incorrectly misspelled the doctype element at the top of your html page.

You have:

<!DOCTYPE htlm>

Replace with: 

<!DOCTYPE html>

HTML corrected, thanks. My file structuer is jacked, the reason for the ARTICLES, as I am unable to correct it?

I believe the files are there, I am having a diffucilt time with this.

Thanks again

Doug

Can you explain your file structure for all of the files of this project? It is hard for me to answer without a clear picture of how you have layed out your project, that way we can get to the bottom of the file path if it is incorrect or not.

Okay so you have ARTICLES / 2017 / index.html and articles.html. Is the articles.html the file you are using for the read more link? If so, you have misspelled it within the href attribute of your anchor element. If the file is named articles.html you need to make sure that the link is also articles.html not article.html like in your above HTML code. 

<a href="articles.html">Read More</a>

Also, you don't need to have the ARTICLES folder before the name of the file you are pointing to, if that is the case, then it is searching for a file named articles.html within the folder ARTICLES which I am guessing you don't have it there as its in a sub-directory named 2017 right?

You will get the same error code if your index.html page and articles.html (if presumably spelt the same way) are not in the same folder. If they are in separate folders you need to replace the link it is pointing to. I can help you out with that if you can provide me this information.

I had the same issues, my mistake was that the file article.html wasn't actually moved in the article files, while with the initial example was working just fine, when the folder was created kept on having the same issue even if the code was right, please double check if the HTML file is in the actual directory. It may be to late, but hopefully it will help others
