You have <li> tags outside of a <ul> or <ol> tag:

<ul>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
</ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li> // these guys are lost overhere, they need a parent
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>  // these guys are lost overhere, they need a parent
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li> // these guys are lost overhere, they need a parent

Try opening and closing your tags at the same time, then going back in them to add content

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
        <h2>Welcome</h2> 
        <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1>

        <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
        <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>

        <ul>
            <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
        </ul>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
