You've got several repeated nav and ul tags. Make sure you're only adding the tags once. I've posted some psudo-code below from the first step of the challenge to help you get started.

<!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>

      <!-- Add the opening nav tag here. -->
        <!-- Add the opening ul tag here. -->
          <!-- Add any list items inside this block. -->
        <!-- Close your ul tag here. -->
      <!-- Close your nav tag here. -->

    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Hi Daisy,

In addition to what rydavim has already covered, I noticed you have a typo in the anchor tags.

Where you've used herf this should be href, so:

<a herf="index.html">portfolio</a>

would become:

<a href="index.html">portfolio</a>

Hope that helps :)

Finally, if you pass step 1, then move to step 2 and get that error, it really means that there is a problem with your new code, not the step 1 code.
