Task three code is correct, I keep being directed to fix task two. When I return to task two my work is correct.

I am directed at task three that my code changes make task two incorrect. When I recheck task 2 it returns it is correct. Not sure why task 3 code is not correct.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">

        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>

Hey Aaron,

Your code is correct, except for a spelling error. You have "Portfilio" instead of "Portfolio." If you fix that, your code does pass all 3 Tasks.

And just an FYI, the "Task # is no longer passing" is a very misleading error. ALWAYS resist the urge to click "Go to Task #". The error is actually in the current task and is usually a syntax or spelling error.

Just fix that spelling error... copy you code above back into the challenge, and it will all pass.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:

Instead of putting your link inside of the list element try wrapping your list element in a link like this...

<nav>
  <ul>
    <a href="index.html"> <li>Portfolio</li></a>
    <a href="about.html"><li>About</li></a>
    <a href="contact.html"><li>Contact</li></a>
  </ul>
</nav>

Hope this helps.
