Hi there! To be honest, I'm not sure how it made it past the first step. The unordered list is supposed to come after the link inside the header per the specifications of the challenge. Now, the problem here seems to be an understanding of where the link ends. Remember, that a link (or anchor tag) begins with a <a> and ends with a </a>.

Take a look at the beginning code:

<a href="index.html">  <!--  Beginning of link -->
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
 </a>   <!-- end of link -->

Take another shot with these hints in mind, but if you are still stuck let me know! :sparkles:
