Here's the correct code for the first challenge; (nav bar/links need to be after the closing a tag)

<!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>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Hey Jessica... Welcome to Treehouse.

Often when the challenge tells you "Task one is no longer passing," it usually means you added something to the current task that is wrong and is affecting the code checker from the beginning.

For this challenge, you do have a couple of syntax and tag errors.

First, your <a> tag should be closed before you open the <nav>. Once that's done delete the closing a tag you do have under the unordered list.

Finally, you didn't close your <li> tags. You have an opening on both sides.

WIth those two things corrected, you will be able to move on to task 3.

<!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> Portfolio </li>
            <li> About </li>
            <li> Contact </li>
          </ul>
        </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Keep Coding! :)
