Hi Thomas! You are placing your list items outside your unordered list thats why you get the error message.

Hope it helps :)! Keep coding!

Julian is correct. Your opening unordered list tag is in the wrong location. You want to move it above your list items.

<li>About</li>
<li>Contact</li>
<ul>

Should be

<ul>
<li>Portfolio</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
