Can't pass step 3 of Code Challenge

I thought that all the code was correct but keeps telling me that it is wrong. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks! 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <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>

Should the index.html link be right above your H1 tags?

You seem to have links in a link.

You put the "h1" and "h2" inside the "nav" tag, they must be inside just the "a" tag

What does the error message say?

The nav tag is right after the first link under the header. The challenge won't allow me to put it under the link which I would do personally.

Yes, my bad, I didn't see it at first, what's the error saying?

Oh no problem! It is really awkward were they make you put it. It says that " Portfolio must be linked to index . html"
