The Portfolio list items should link to "index.html".

Is this a bug issue or is something wrong with my code?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html"></a>Portfolio</li>
          <li><a href="about.html"></a>About</li>
          <li><a href="contact.html"></a>Contact</li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Your closing tags should go after the text and before the LI

So when you open your tag 

 <a href="about.html">

that is where your link starts. Now you want to wrap what you want linked in that. You do this by closing your a(anchor, or link) tag with a 

 </a>

Here is what you have 

<li><a href="index.html"></a>Portfolio</li>

You are closing your tag without wrapping your text in it.

It should be 

<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>

Hope that help, message me if you have any other questions!
