What wrong? It says my Portfolio isn't anchored to "index.html", but it seems to be, and when I preview, its ok.

It seems that my work here is correct. I've checked it on the preview, my own notepad...it still says the Portfolio line, first list item is anchored wrong. Anyone see the problem?

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>Portfolio</li>
          <li><a href="about.html"></a>About</li>
          <li><a href="contact.html"></a>Contact</li>

        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Try entering each 'li' like the format below:

<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>

If your text is in the anchor tag, maybe that'll fix it. Even though the page probably works, "Portfolio" itself isn't a part of the anchor tag.

That did it, thanks. Strange, though, that's how I had it before, and the list items were showing red, so I changed it.
