7,355 PointsIf you don't yet have a page you can set your links to href="#" to prevent the click through a 404 error.
Otherwise, you'll just need to add a page to your directory like "about.html"
To add a new page in a workspace project, just right click and choose new file. Then just make sure the link in your navigation matches your new page.
I hope that helps!

Take the basic console course in treehouse learn how to navigate unix.
if it's in the same folder make sure about.html isn't in any other folder. Make sure there isn't white spacing or special characters. There are characters reserved for URLs.
! # $ % & ( ) * + , / : ; = ? @ [ ]
These characters need to be encoded so it doesn’t interfere with the function of the URL.
