Will not let me advance as it says "make sure list item portfolio is linked to index.html".

Will not let me advance as it says "make sure list item portfolio is linked to index.html". Obviously that has been done, but it won't let me advance. Any suggestions?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <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>
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Hey Austin,

Your list items appear correct. However, it looks like you're missing the closing tag to your navigation element and unordered list.

Edit: You're also going to need to write your nav element and unordered list below the anchor link in the header. Take a look:

<a href="index.html">
    <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
    <h2>Designer</h2>
    <!-- Not here -->
</a>
<!-- Navigation element starts here -->
<nav>
    <!-- Unordered list starts here -->
    <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> <!-- Close unordered list here -->
</nav> <!-- Close navigation element here -->

Best,

Jacob
