Hi, I am a beginner for Hugo. I already finish my list.html in layouts folder.  
And then I create a single.html for my content.  
But when I run “hugo server” and link to my content, it always display 404.  
There is my [code](https://github.com/Hzyu810225/LearnHugo)  
What point I lose?  
How do I solve it?  
Thank you.

Is your `<a>` tag well formed?

Maybe you need `<a href="{{.URL}}"> {{.Title}} </a>`.

By the way @ZeYu_Hou, it’s better to use `.Permalink` or `.RelPermalink`, because `.Page.URL` is marked for [deprecation](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/4117) at some point.

Ok, I had a few minutes to download your site and try it.

Just move your `list.html` and `single.html` into `/layouts/_default` and it should work (this is what fixed the 404 for me).

Yeap, it fixed 404, but the {{.Content}} is empty now. I can’t show my content when I visit  
“[http://localhost:1313/daily02/](http://localhost:1313/daily02/)”

Can you push your changes to github so we can see where things are up to? It’s hard to help when github still has your `single.html` and `list.html` not in the `_default` folder.

You need to rename `layouts/default` to `layouts/_default` - the \_ is important.

And now, when you run `hugo server -D` you should see content at [http://localhost:1313/daily01](http://localhost:1313/daily01) etc. (You need the `-D` flag to build draft and non-draft pages.)
