i believe i have opening and closing header tags and i dont know what ive done incorrectly? so confused at my error??

i know im probably just a character or an element away and its staring me in the face but i just cant seem to figure out my error. i added ul, h1 and p tags and i open and closed them with header tags and i placed the href elements inside. what do i do??

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
     <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </header>

  <ul>
    <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>   
  </ul>

Hi Olivia,

The opening header tag is missing, I can see the closing tag you used just not the opening header. Hope this helps!

Olivia, Echoing Noah's statement to you, yes, you appear to be missing the opening tag for the <header> tag. I've included corrected code below.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
   <header>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
     <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </header>

  <ul>
    <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>   
  </ul>
