Code Challenge won't let me through when I'm sure i got it correct

It tells me to create three list items within thee nag element and write Portfolio, About, and Contact. So this is how i do the code: 

<nav>
 <ul>Portfolio</ul>
 <ul>About</ul>
 <ul>Contact</ul>
</nav>

What did I do wrong?

you need to put the list items in <li></li>tags and your list items need to be between <ul></ul>

<nav>
  <ul>
     <li>Portfolio</li>
     <li>About</li>
     <li>Contact</li>
  </ul>
</nav>

also be sure you put your nav after the closing anchor tag, not inside it:

<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>

Nothing to feel stupid about, even after 5 years I make mistakes, it's just a natural part of development.
