Bummer! The Portfolio list item should link to "index.html"

This is a stupid bug that needs to be fixed.

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 herf="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a herf="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a herft="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
        </nav>
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Update it with your actual code and I'll revise my hints to address the real issue.

You've actually got multiple bugs here, but here's a couple of hints to help you to fix them.

The instructions said, "Create a navigation element with an unordered list element after the link inside the header.", but it looks like you placed your element inside the link. To be after the link, it would need to come after the closing tag of the link ("</a>").

Then, in your new links, you have properties named "herf" and "herft", but the actual property name should be "href".

I'll bet you can handle it now without a code spoiler. Once you get all those fixed, you should pass the challenge.

Hello Robert, you're doing great. Your just need to correct your code a little ... all links should have a href attribute. The snippet you have provided has syntax errors.

Your code should be as follows:

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