Aright first off put HTML after ''' in your code. Then check the markup rules on this page it explains how to post code. Can't say much till I see it in markup form

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Anderson Theodre | Designer</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One|Open+Sans:400,300italic,700,700italic,800,400italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
  </head>  
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html" id="logo">
        <h1>Anderson Theodore</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="About.html"class="selected">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contract</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <div id="wrapper">
