Hello! I can't figure out the code from step 2 that is not passing. Checked several times.

Any help? I'm quite sure no code is missing from step 2...

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>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

hey @Greta Regondi i think you have forgot this > in your code if you don't add that > at the end of an element the computer will think it's part of the code and that's why you got an error and not a string or in other words a simple text hope that helps you.

<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>
