You do have it as a list item, maybe you mean something else, explain better? If you we're seeing why it doesnt work, its because its not inside the "unordered list" or the <ul> tag, make sure you get the "list item" <li> inside the <ul> tag 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>About</li> <li>Contact</li> </ul> </nav> </header> <section></section> <footer> <p>Ā© 2013 Nick Pettit.</p> </footer> </body> </html>

You have the right idea but you need to nest your list items (li tags) inside your ul tags. Your code should be:

<nav>
    <ul>
        <li>Portfolio</li>
        <li>About</li>
        <li>Contact</li>
   </ul>
</nav>```

I didn't notice I had a request until just now.

The previous people are correct. You had your list items before your opening, unordered list tag. Sakib and Emilio's examples should be correct.
