Can't seem to get the code right on challenge task 1-- putting the nav and unordered list elements in..

I have it on the line right after the link in the header: <nav> <ul></ul> </nav>

What am I doing wrong?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <nav>
          <ul></ul>
        </nav>
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

You have it included inside the actual link, between the anchor tags. Technically the after the link is after the /a tag. Like this:

<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>

In html, the format for a link is : 

<a href="target URL"> link element </a>

Hope this helps!

Hey Melissa -

At the moment, your nav element is inside the <a> tag in the header - I'd move it outside this!
