    You have to be sure the link is EXACTLY right. You actually have two problems:

    1. You published the page as Festival; republish the page lowercase and delete the uppercase version from the server.

    2. You published the link as www.phillipsteinmetz.com/festival; it needs to have the .html extension added: www.phillipsteinmetz.com/festival.html. This link will work when you fix #1 above.

      Probably a studpid question but what do you mean by removing the uppercase version from the server? I tried renaming it and everything but still get the same error message?
      thanks for your help

        You have been correctly advised to:

        1. Be sure to change your Navgation, your link to match the "new" re-named page's lower-case letter only page name being careful to also add the ".html" extension as required so your hyperlink looks like this > www.phillipsteinmetz.com/festival.html

        2. On your actual web page, you can correct things visually by changing your Menu back to "Blue Creek Banjo Camp ..Festival" instead of using "Blue Creek Banjo Camp ..festival" as the Text formatting in your Menu has nothing to do with navigation, only the hyperlink attached to it as explained above: you can have Text hyperlinked any way you want, but for the links to work, they must be created properly (to the proper page names, and with the proper page extension: ".html", ".php", etc.).

        3. Using BlueFTP, remove from the server the previously published page that was named using the capital letter to remove potential page conflicts: remove www.phillipsteinmetz.com/Festival
