It keeps telling me to add a list item "Portfolio" and when I do it tells me that it is wrong.

I created three unordered list items. it then wanted me to add the words Portfolio, About, and Contact to the list items, which I did and it tells me "Bummer! be sure to add "Portfolio to the list items, which I did. Not sure what is wrong?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>Portfolio</ul>
        <ul>About</ul>
        <ul>Contact</ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>

You might be misunderstanding how lists work in HTML. The the UL tag is for an unordered list, inside which you add LI (list items) tags, like this:

<ul>
  <li> ... </li>
  <li> ... </li>
  <li> ... </li>
</ul>

So here, the code challenge wants you to add portfolio as a li, not as a list (ul) itself.
