Hi Didier,

You are putting the anchor (a) tag in the same tag with the image (img) tag. You should seperate these because these are 2 different tags like so:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <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>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
      </ul>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
      <a href="this is your link"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook logo"></a>
      <a href="this is your link"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter logo"></a>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Good. Make sure you understand img and a are 2 different tags so they can't be used in 1 tag together:)
