<nav> element doesn't register?

Hey, could anyone help me out? I don't know what I did wrong in the navigations section

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

      <h2>Welcome</h2> 
      <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>

Yeah as Steven parker mentioned about your header element, it seems to be placed within the head of the document. It needs to be placed after the opening body tag I believe for this particular challenge. Not only that but the title and link element nested inside of the header don't belong there, they are to be placed within the head element and not nested within other elements.

The <nav> section has been added correctly. But back in task 1, a <header> section should have been added at the beginning of the <body>, but it seems to have been moved into the <head> area now.

And task 3 specifically asked for the <section> to be placed directly after the <header> area.

You've placed a opening section tag to wrap around the nav. Remove that by placing it in its appropriate markup location.
