Totally at a loss here. Can someone check my answer and tell me what I am doing wrong? Thx!

I can't figure out for the life of me what I did wrong here. I could definitely use a code critique here. And if anyone can explain what "Oops! It looks like task #2 is no longer passing" means, I sure would appreciate it!

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></li>
          <li><a href="about.html"></a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html"></a></li>
        </ul>
      <nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Eric, what may be wrong with your answer/attempt may be 'what's missing' from the code that should be there... perhaps something got accidentally moved/deleted? That is what I discovered "no longer passing" meant when I came across a similar issue.

As I am also only just beginning, I 'think' what coding is there looks to have no issues. Hope I helped, if only a little.

I don't remember the specifics of this exercise, but there's nothing being linked by the anchors in the nav right now:

<a href="index.html"> LINKED TEXT </a>

At first glance. you are missing the / from your nav's closing tag 

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