Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong here ?

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. As far as I can tell I copied the code exactly from the video.

index.html 
<!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</a><About</a><li>
        <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a><li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>
