My page preview stopped showing anything below my "about" so everything i enter below that isn't showing up

I entered the following code, does anyone see why i lost the items below "about" ? I had my footer showing and then i lost it at some point.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <Title>Matthew Holmes | Designer</Title>

</head> <body> <header> <a href="index.html">

    <h1>Matthew Holmes</h1>
    <h2>Designer</h2>
   </a> 
   <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>
</header>
<section>
  <ul>
    <li>
      <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
    </li>
  </ul>
</section>
<footer>

You're creating a link <a href="index.html"> but you don't close it ;)

<a href="index.html">index</a> or you can close it like <a href="index.html"/>

It' not that you forgot to close the a tag. It seems as though you have the closing tag in the wrong place.

You also don't have a body tag which is where all the headers and etc go in
