I listed 3 items however when i saw the preview there seemed to be more than 3

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>Portfolio<li>

Hi Simon,

You forgot the forward slash on your closing li tags.

Should be like this:

<li>Portfolio</li>

Without the forward slash, the browser sees 6 opening li tags and will create 6 list items for you.
