Hi Morgan,

Firstly make sure that you have created the .html files for you links, I think this is the code you're looking for. <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>

Hope this helps

Andy

If you want link to different area of same page then you can use ids to link. Give that area a id in div or something then in li just enter url #idname. in anchor tag
