I cannot see where this is wrong

<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a><li> <li><a href="index.html">About</a><li> <li><a href="index.html">Contact</a><li>

This is the code I wrote and i'm getting 6 lines not three and I do not know why.

index.html 
<!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><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a><li>
          <li><a href="index.html">About</a><li>
          <li><a href="index.html">Contact</a><li>
        </ul>
      </nav>  
        </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

You didn't close the list-item tags properly.

<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><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="index.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="index.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>  
        </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
