My contact page looks like my portfolio page instead of my about page when I transferred over the code.

In stage 7 I started the video, made a contact.html folder, copy/pasted the about page, and modified the nav class from the about to the contact. But when I refresh my page and click contact, it shows as my portfolio page (which if I remember correctly means it isn't connecting to ANY page and therefore defaults to the portfolio page).

I currently dont want to continue because than any further edits I make I wont be able to see the results of and be able to tweak correctly if I make a mistake later on.

Here is the nav code that I changed, following along with Nick.

<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">Contact</a></li> </ul> </nav>

It got figured out! I had made the file called Contact.html when it needed to be contact.html. That didn't fix the problem until afterwards, when I went to my index.html, messed with the header to see what was being affected and so on. Once I changed the index.html, it picked up my rename of the contact.html file. I think sometimes it doesn't notice the file's been renamed until I make a change somewhere else and hit save.

Can you post your code or a screenshot? If you don't know how, Look on the right side of the forum page and cick on the part that says, Tips for asking questions section and it'll help you get that down.
