2:Add the link:
<li><a href="/about">About</a></li>

then generated....

and the "about" tag do appear; but it couldn't be clicked; the new page do not come out

Answer 1

Your link needs to use the root url of your site:

<li><a href="{{ root_url }}/about">About</a></li>

And make sure you've added your link in: source/_includes/custom/navigation.html
