My Nav Element is Directly after the Link in the Header?

It keeps telling me to add the nav element after the link in the header, I believe that is exactly what i'm doing?

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

    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Hey bro,

Simple nesting error here. Re-read that instructions and you'll notice that they want you to put it AFTER the link element. Where'd you put it? ;)

Remember that an element that is not a self-closing element, consists of 2 tags. An opening tag and a closing tag. What you did was put it after the opening anchor/link tag. But not after the actual anchor/link element. 

<a href="http://google.com">
    <!-- This is inside the element but after the opening tag-->
</a>


<a href="http://google.com">

</a>

<!-- This is after the element -->

See the difference now?

So, where does it need to go?
