Making links out of lists

Hi, i am making a link out of a list.

The problem is that the system is not accepting my information. Did i make a typo?

This is what i did: <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>

What is wrong with this? I did it the same as mention in one of the first video's about lists. I hope you guys can help me. Thnxx! :)

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

My answer was oke. The only thing what i didnt do is ending the first <a href="index.html> with </a>. Was not very clear when it was explained. Though thank you for your information :)

Hi, if you want make links from the list items, you need to wrap them with anchor element...

With your code you created links inside list item :)
