HOW DO I LINK THE 3 LIST ITEMS, PORTFOLIO, ABOUT AND CONTACT? I AM STUCK ON 3/3

Link each of the three list items. Portfolio should go to “index.html”, About should go to “about.html”, and Contact should go to “contact.html”.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
      </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <nav>
          <ul><a>unordered</a>
            <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>
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Double check the placement of your <nav>. The instructions say to add the navigation AFTER the link to index.html.. you are adding it inside the link. So basically move your entire <nav> block, including the <ul> and list items.. under the closing </a> for the first index.html href used to link the designers name H1 and H2 tags.

Hope this helps.

That's just a small mistake: Your <nav>-Element should come after the first <a>-Element inside the <header>. So move that out of the first <a> and put it behind it:

<!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><a>unordered</a>
            <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>
