Getting 404 on when clicking on about.html link

Hello, whenever I am clicking the about.html link on my page preview, I am getting a 404. I made sure that the letters all match up in the directory and are lower case. All of my code seems to be correct, comparing it to other's. I think this might be a bug with Workspace. Thoughts anyone?

Hi there, one quick tip for when you add code to the forum is below. You had the right idea but used the wrong key when entering the backtick character. After it you should also enter the language you want to be displayed.

How to Post Code to the Treehouse Forum

If you are using workspace a new and easy way to show us your code is called snapshot. Follow this link to see how it works.

No, you wrote about.hmtl. I make silly mistakes like that all the time.

I'm not sure if this is the problem, but be sure to include html, head, and body tags.

They're there. For some reason they didn't copy. I'm almost positive this is a bug with Workspace.

Being new, I'm not sure that I'm close, but do you have the ! DOCTYPE html line in the about.html page code?
