why is this not correct, I've done it over too many times and it says its wrong? Any feedback will help.

<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>

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">

Hi Derek,

You need to tell us what exactly it is your supposed to be doing, we can't look at your code and guess.

Try putting the anchor tags around each list tag, rather than nested inside.

Your code it correct. A common mistake is the title of your folders not matching your code. For example if your folder is About with capitol A but you code is about lower case a, it won't work because the code doesn't match your folder exactly.
