On Challenge Task 2 of 3, I am having problems with the Challenge accepting the word "Portfolio." Is this a bug?

The code is exactly correct, but I keep getting the "Bummer! Be sure you add a list element with the name "Portfolio." (or whatever the exact phrasing is on the error message) I've read there were errors with this challenge in the past. Am I doing something wrong or is this still a bug within Treehouse?

            <li><a href="">"Contact"</a></li>

Delete quotation mark around Portfolio, or try my code ;)

<header>
        <a href="index.html" id="logo">
            <h1>Sergey Podgornyy</h1>
            <h2>Front-end developer</h2>
        </a>
        <nav>
            <ul>
                <li><a href="index.html" class="selected">Portfolio</a></li>
                <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
                <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
            </ul>
        </nav>
    </header>

Challenge Task 2 of 3 asks you do to do the following. "Inside the navigation element, create three list items with the words, “Portfolio”, “About”, and “Contact”. Don’t add links yet."

You added the links already. That's why it's crying.
