Hi Cherie! -

This is because the index.html and about.html page are in different directories. The about.html file is in a folder named "pages", so you have to step out of that directory to get to the index.html file. The code below shows how to do this.

<li><a href="../index.html">Home</a></li>

Happy coding!
