Hey James,

You are missing the opening bracket for your closing li tag for portfolio. Just fix that typo (a common one) and you'll be good to go!

Keep Coding :)

Sorry James, The grey on black was hard to see. You actually weren't missing the bracket, it was just a backwards one that I didn't see.

<nav>
        <ul>
          <li>Portfolio</li>      <!-- Had Portfolio>/li>  Changed to Portfolio</li> -->
          <li>About</li>
          <li>Contact</li>
        </ul>
      </nav>

Here's the fixed code. :)
