The unordered list items are correct, but it says that the item doesn't exist. Can this be corrected?

When I'm adding unordered list items, I have to add "Portfolio", "About", and "Contact". However, it says that "Portfolio" doesn't exist, even though it's in the code. Is there an error going on that I don't know about or did I do something wrong on my part?

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>Portfolio</ul>
        <ul>About</ul>
        <ul>Contact</ul>
      </nav>

Your problem is that instead of naming the list items as a list item tag, you named them an unordered list. Your code should look more like this:

<nav>
      <ul>
            <li>Portfolio</li>
            <li>About</li>
            <li>Contact</li>
      </ul>
</nav>

My bad meant to add this as an answer.
