I have literally just copied and pasted your code into the cody challenge and its passed with no issues.

Sometimes the code challenge hasn't loaded in the changes you've made if you click check work too quickly after changes. If it fails you and you adamant you got it right. Click check again and it should work.

I've experienced this myself a number of times.

Try again with the code you have above I had no problems with it.

I tried it again. There was a server issue it says. Now it's okay.

The problem is that you've gone above and beyond the call of duty. The challenge specifically states not to add any links yet at this stage. Here's what they want:

     <ul>
          <li>Portfolio</li>
          <li>About</li>
          <li>Contact</li>
        </ul>
