Hi Opeyemi,

You're really close. The problem is that you're using <ul> tags instead of <li> for your navigation items. You want to have <li>Portfolio</li> etc. Open a <ul> tag before all of your <li> items, then close the ul </ul> after all the list items right before you close your nav. That way, you'll be placing all of your list items within one Unordered List(ul).

Good luck!
