Hi,

You look to have a couple of typos in your anchor tag:

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

Try changing herf to href and the position of the slash in the closing anchor tag:

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

Hope that helps.

You messed up with the anchor tag right after portfolio. The a is supposed to go after the backslash. Also, the word is href not herf. Hope this helps!
