Well I am not sure exactly what it is you are having an issue with I will past what my code was. Maybe that will help clarify any issues.

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