<nav> tag in challenge

The challenge asks me to create a nav tag with an un-ordered list tag directly after the link tag. I create the nav tag with both an opening and closing tag, and then embed the ul tag inside of the nav tag. When I go to click check work it tells me to make sure I have my nav tag directly after the link tag, which I do. The only way I have gotten this challenge to work is to leave the nav closing tag out. The only problem with this solution is that when I go to the next challenge and complete what it asks of me, it tells me that the previous task is no longer working. This feels like a glitch.

You put the nav within the link tag. Move it to just after the closing tag of the link, and you'll be good to go.
