 * I am trying to make my “work” template work like my other links on my nav bar.
   Not too sure where I went wrong with my code but it isn’t showing the hr tag 
   and The title. Thanks for the help!
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
   
       	Template Name: Work Page
   
       */
   
       get_header(); ?>
   
       <p> This is the work.php file </p>
   
       <?php 
   
       $args = array( 'post_type'=>'work' );
   
       $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
   
       ?>
   
       <?php if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
   
        	<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" <?php $the_query->the_title(); ?></h3>
        	<?php the_content(); ?>
        	<hr>
   
       <?php endwhile; else: ?>
   
       <p> customize later </p>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
   
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```

 * I think your ‘h3’ line should be this:
 *     ```
       <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
       ```
