Try putting your "about.html" in your <a></a> tags.

For example:

<a href = "about.html">About</a>

hi mr. james i suggest you to check properly your file-paths because this is important when linking files in different locations . a deep understanding of file-paths( relative and absolute) will help you attach files at any point.

another idea is sharing your code practice on community we can go through the code and correct you fast so your fellow students will know where you went wrong.

to share you code press the three --- before the code and again ---after your code happy coding bro
