CSS How to Make a Website Adding Pages to a Website Add a New Page

How can I make my "About" page appear directly from the "index.html" page? When I click on About I'm having a 404 Error

My "about" page only appears from the preview on my "about.html" file and not from the Home page (index.html) on the browser. I'm thinking that for someone reason my "index.html" and my "about.html" aren't linked to each others. Where in my code should I focused on to make sure that I able to linked the both pages?

When you say index page from your browser, you are referring to trying to view it outside of WorkSpaces?

If so, the path the 'a href' points to, outside of WrkSpaces, doesn't exist yet on your own computer. You need an about.html somewhere on your computer for the index.html to 'point' to.

think about if/when you save a webpage on your system, it saves the html file, as well as a folder named with the same name as the html file, which includes all the images, and other pages like css to make the page format and look pretty. This is what WorkSpaces simulates, a series of files that index.html references, as if it was your hosted site.

Thank you very much for the reply Darren Joy . I actually hadn't made a spelling mistake on my code I had registered my file as Index.html with capital "I" and my code were under index.html I was able to resolved that issues few Hours back by renaming my file.
