Hi Lisa,

you were missing the <nav> and <ul> closing tag and one <a> tag was going around your complete header. As <a>-tags can't be nested, this is likely to cause a problem. 

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