Hi pythoncoder,

The issue is that you placed the nav element with its unordered list in the wrong spot. The challenge wants you to place it after the link in the header (after the </a> closing tag). However, you placed it inside the link.

To be honest, I'm not sure why your code passed up until that point, but moving it to the correct location should fix it.

Good luck.

Hey pythoncoder.

Ryan is correct here. You have the first <a href="index.html"> tag below the header tag. This closing </a> tag (as well as the <h1> and <h2> tags) are in the wrong place.

Your code:

<header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <nav>
          <ul>
            <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
            <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
            <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
          </ul>
        </nav>


        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
    </header>

Correct syntax:

<header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>

Hope this helps.
