The tasks are incorrect

Task 1 is incorrect, in order to get it well done. you have to use <nav> <nav> yes... not closing the tag with the / and then when you go to task 2 it says that Task 1 is no longer working, you go back to Task 1 and correct it, but then again in task 2 it says it is incorrect. And So on. Please fix this. I tried on PC and iPad, and it won't work on neither the app or the web platform.

Thank you

Hi Ruben,

I know why you get errors that is probably messed up between href and lists.

Your codes:

    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
<nav>
          <ul> 
             <li>Portfolio</li>
             <li>About</li>
             <li>Contact</li>                       
          </ul>
<nav>
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
    </header>

Supposed to be like this below.

    <header>
      <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>    
    </header>

Hints below:

    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>

//add navigation listing here....
...<ul>
.......<li></li>
....etc
    </header>

 <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <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>
    </header>

This is what your looking for. I noticed that you dident close off your 'nav' which would have to be '/nav' and it also ask's for it to be put after the link in the header. which would be this part.

<a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
