I am currently working on Style New Pages. When I went to click on another link in my header I found that it didn't work at all, intriguingly none of the links worked, not the about, contact or index link(which is the page I was on to start with.) I get a 404 not found error if I click on any of these links and here is the code that I'm working with.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset=”utf-8”> <title>Forest Hoy | Writer</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css"> <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,400italic,700,700italic,900|Montserrat' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css"> </head> <body> <header> <a href=”index.html” id="logo"> <h1>Forest Hoy</h1> <h2>Writer</h2> </a> <nav> <ul> <li><a href=”index.html” class="selected"> Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href=”about.html”>About</a></li> <li><a href=”Contact.html”>Contact</a></li> </ul> </nav> </header>

Do you have the pages contact.html about.html in your workspace? These are relative links and if there are no such files in your workspace/directory you'll receive an error.
Could you also make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link here?
You can find the snapshot in the upper right corner of the workspace like so:

And you didn't close your "anchor" tag:
<a href=”index.html” id="logo">
<h1>Forest Hoy</h1>
<h2>Writer</h2>
</a>

Courses Plus Student 15,596 PointsHi Forest,
I forked your workspace and I was able to recreate the problem. I am not sure why this happens, however I was able to resolve the issue but deleting your anchor tags and writing them on my own (with exactly the same markup). Once I replaced them, the hyperlinks seem to work.
You can try this as a temporary solution. In the meantime, I will investigate further.
