Hey Marguis,

You mixed head with header :) I know..it's confusing at first. Your nav should be inside the header tag.

Hi Marquis, Actually you have to put the nav element into the header tag not into head tag.

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

Hey Phil,

I'm not sure if this was meant for me or Afrid but, I see nothing wrong with giving the answer as long as I see the person did some effort to solve it. If somebody does not bother to think through or even post the code, I will keep on asking probing questions without giving the final solution even if I am 100% sure what he/she is talking about.

Hey Phil, I know you are trying to help as well as everyone in this system but I think if a person is asking for something and if we get that, then it would be wise to get him the answer just said as Michael.
