Coding Error

There seems to be an issue with your website. The previous question will ask me to make an ordered list. The next question will ask me to turn the list items into hyperlinks. Once I do this step, it tells me work for the previous question is incorrect and will not let me continue. Please fix this.

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

Hey Tanya,

The problem lies within your links. They are missing a > at the end of the beginning anchor tag right after the href attribute i.e.

<li><a href="index.html"  Portfolio</a></li>

should be:

<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>

And so on for each list item.
