Courses Plus Student 13,164 PointsOkay... I figured this one out. I got Bummer! null the first time as well. Then I noticed that I was placing the nav block right after the link (which it asks you to) but didn't notice that the closing a tag for the link is actually after the h1 and h2 tags ... doh!
It's a strangely worded task, but this is what works:
<a href="index.html">
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
<h2>Designer</h2>
</a>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Portfolio</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>

Treehouse TeacherL R,
Jennifer has the correct answer here. Notice how the <nav> element is after the <a> element, and not nested inside. That's the difference. :)

Jennifer Rai
Courses Plus Student 13,164 PointsHi James - I guess it is not the instructions that I found odd, it was seeing the h1 & h2 tags both inside of the same link that I found a bit strange. On the other hand, I think the best challenges are the ones that make you look a little more closely :-) I also haven't done this track yet, so I wasn't looking at the code in context to what Nick is teaching with the project ... which I'm sure would help ; )

Treehouse TeacherHey everyone,
We're retooling this challenge a little bit to make the error messages better and the instructions more clear. This was a difficult one to track down, but we think we have it figured out now. Thank you all for posting the entirety of your code. It helps us tremendously in reproducing the problems you're having. :)

Treehouse TeacherHi Johnathan Rowley,
When asking about Code Challenges in the forum, it's helpful to post the code that you're writing along with the Code Challenge prompt. What is the Code Challenge asking you to do and what code have you typed in?
If you need help writing code in the forum, be sure to check out the "Markdown Cheatsheet" link below the comment box. When formatted correctly, code in the forum will look like this:
<p>Here is an example of HTML code.</p>

I tried to challenge myself, and it there does appear to be something actually wrong.
I tried the following for 2/3:
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Portfolio</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
and it said "Bummer! null".

Treehouse TeacherHi L R,
Posting a snippet of the challenge doesn't help us debug unfortunately. You'll need to post the entirety of what you have in the challenge window.
