what am I doing wrong?

I put <nav> directly after the link and it is not working.

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>

Your need to create the navigation element with a nested unordered list after the anchor tags, not inside.

Remember that the link doesn't end until AFTER the ending anchor tag. Your navigation element should appear below the end tag like this.

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