Hi Lee,

What you've written looks correct to me. Is there an error you're receiving or it just won't click through?

Thanks

-Rich

I don't see a problem with this code, either. Can you show us the rest of your code?

Hi Lee,

You need the list tags inside the anchor tags like this:

<nav>
          <ul>
            <a href = "index.html">
                    <li>Portfolio</li>
            </a>
            <a href = "about.html">
                <li>About</li>
            </a>
            <a href = "contact.html">
                <li>Contact</li>
            </a>
          </ul>
    </nav>

That's invalid html.

The direct children of a <ul> have to be either <li>'s or script supporting elements.
