I don't know what I am doing wrong

Aren't my lists linked correctly?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <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>
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>

Your solution is correct, it's just in the wrong place. If you move your code under the closing a tag and before the closing header tag you should be able to pass the challenge.

Currently this is your header: (I have added comments with // to help walk you through the problem)

<header> <a href="index.html"> //Here you have opened an anchor tag without closing it <nav> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li> //Here is a correctly formatted anchor tag <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> //Lastly I believe this is the original closing anchor tag </header>
