NameError in Home#show in ruby

I have created a small Rails project called Bloccit. It contains an About section. Inside the About section I have defined an action.

<h1>About Bloccit</h1>
<p>Created by: <%= my_name %></p>

Also on the application.html.erb section 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Bloccit</title>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
  <%= stylesheet_link_tag    'application', media: 'all', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
  <%= javascript_include_tag 'application', 'data-turbolinks-track' => true %>
  <%= csrf_meta_tags %>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <ul class="nav nav-tabs">
            <li><%= link_to "Bloccit", root_path %></li>
            <li><%= link_to "About", about_path %></li>
        </ul>

    <%= yield %>
</div>

</body>
</html>

I have defined the About using the <li><%= link_to "About", about_path %></li> markup. In my routes.rb, I have

 Rails.application.routes.draw do

 resources :posts

 get "welcome/index"

  get 'about' => 'welcome#about'

  root to: 'welcome#index'


  resources :advertisements

end

After I rake the routes I see:

    Prefix Verb   URI Pattern                        Controller#Action
             posts GET    /posts(.:format)                   posts#index
                   POST   /posts(.:format)                   posts#create
          new_post GET    /posts/new(.:format)               posts#new

                   PUT    /posts/:id(.:format)               posts#update
                   DELETE /posts/:id(.:format)               posts#destroy
             about GET    /about(.:format)                   welcome#about
              root GET    /                                  welcome#index
    advertisements GET    /advertisements(.:format)          advertisements#index
                   POST   /advertisements(.:format)          advertisements#create
 new_advertisement GET    /advertisements/new(.:format)      advertisements#new

                   PATCH  /advertisements/:id(.:format)      advertisements#update
                   PUT    /advertisements/:id(.:format)      advertisements#update
                   DELETE /advertisements/:id(.:format)      advertisements#destroy

When I try to run this application in the browser it gives me a routing error. This is the errors I receive in the console:

In your config/routes.rb file I would consider making this addition;

get 'about' => 'welcome#about', :as => 'about'

It should then let you reference about_path
