hello, I'm pretty sure this is the correct answer, the site keeps telling me that task 1 is no longer passing.

it won't tell me if this is correct or incorrect, if anyone could help out that would be amazing, thanks.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <nav>

      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
        <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>
      </a>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>

  </body>
</html>

the last closing a tag before the closing footer tag is in the wrong place. Also the closing nav tag is not properly indented. </a>///This tag is in the wrong place. </header>

You have a duplicate <nav> tag. Try removing the first one. Also, I think you have an unnecessary <a href="index.html"> reference that encompasses all the <nav> section. That doesn't look right.

The reason you're getting that error is that task 1 says to add the nav element after the anchor tag, it looks like you placed it inside so it no longer accepts task 1 as being completed. Here is the correct way to do it:

<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>
