i tried that and it didn't work :(

Where did you put the .htaccess file?

Ben_Derby

just dropped in with the rest of the files as the hosting company said to do that and I'm not sure how to access the file root.

Should say "public" or "home". Ask your hosting company where it is.

Add this to the .htaccess file in the ROOT directory of where these files are. Obviously this will only work with a page named "about.html".

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^about$ about.html [L]
