You have open and closed your unordered correctly by opening with <ul> tag and closing it with </ul>, but you forgot to use the opening <li> list item tag in front of "portfolio" and close with </li> within the unordered list. Your code should look like this:

<!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>Portfolio</li>
          <li>Other list item</li>
          <li>Other list item</li>
          <li>and so on</li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>
