When I copy over the html from about to the newly formed contact page I get a '404 Not Found' error. No changes were made, just copy and paste. Help?

But I noticed in the address panel of the browser when I previewed my site that it still had the old .html name. I changed it in the address bar and it worked fine. It does seem like a caching issue.

2,633 PointsThis was exactly the problem I was having - 404 page even after I corrected issue (changing name from Contact.html to contact.html on the contact page) and sure enough when I changed the old .html name in the address panel of the browser, it worked.

4,239 PointsYou maybe have an error in the link to the "Contact" page. With this, I mean in your index.html and about.html files (and also in the contact.html file). Make sure that it looks like this:
<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
Also, depending on which file/page you want to view, you should have class="selected" added. (but this should not be related to your issue).

430 PointsProbably your mistake was the same that I had. When you create a new file you need to give the same name. Like I wrote "contactS" when I was writing the html code, but my new .html file was "contact", after I add the "S" it worked again ;)
