I continue to get an error message on task 3 of the code challenge for the "How to Build a Website"

I have triple checked this so many times. I keep getting the message that the code from task 2 is no longer valid. What am I missing?

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="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>

Try to capitalize "Portfolio", "About" and "Contact" (the text within the <li>s). Works fine for me then.

Hi,

You need to make corrections. Remove unnecessary spacing between the tags.

  <nav>
    <ul>
      <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>
