<li><a href="index.html"></a>Portfolio</li> <li><a href="about.html"></a>About</li> <li><a href="contact.html"></a>Contact</li>

It says that it isn't linked how its supposed to be, Thanks

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

Hi Caelan,

You almost have it, just move the closing a tag.

<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>

Hope this helps.

If you look at the tags as boxes or inclosures. There was nothing between the start and the end so whatever you put in between will be your link.

<a href="mypage.html"> <!-- start -->
whatever goes in the middle will be your link :)
</a> <!-- end -->
