The task states "Create a navigation element with an unordered list element after the link inside the header." I did.

I did exactly what it says

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

No you did not do exactly what it said. It states that the nav and ul has to be added after the link element, you have placed them inside the link element. The link element ends with the </a> tag. If you move your code outside of it and below it like this:

<!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></ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Then you will be able to pass the first task.

Hey Ethan,

You're really close, but you didn't put it after the link element. Right now you have it inside of the link element. To put it after, you'll need to move to so it comes after the closing </a> tag.

Hope that helps. :)

Keep coding! :dizzy:
