For the first step of the challenge, you need to add a navigation element with an unordered list element inside the header. You've got your code in the right place, you just need a couple different element tags.

<nav> // Your navigation element looks good!
    <url> // You want to use an unordered list here, not url. <ul>
        <li><a href="index.html">designer</a></li> // Don't add a list item yet!
    </url> // This will be your closing tag for your unordered list. </ul>
</nav>

Your first step should end up looking like this...

<nav>
    <ul>
    </ul>
</nav>

Hello Joseph,

The challenge wants you to add a nav section and an unordered list within it. You're nav is the correct place but you have a "url" element instead of a "ul" element.

You should change your structure to this.

 <nav>
    <ul>
    ...
    </ul>
</nav>

Depending on which level of the challenge you're on will determine if you should have items within the unordered list or not.

I hope this helps.
