Did you wrap it in <li> tags? Did you also include About and Contact list items?

<li>Portfolio</li>

Matthew Shettler is correct. You must wrap your < ul> (unordered list) in < li> (list item) tags.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
     <nav>
      <a href="index.html">
       <ul> 
         <li>Portfolio</li>
         <li>About</li>
         <li>Contact</li>
       </ul>
      </a>
     </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

            ```
