when writing elements try and keep the opening bracket right next to the element name i.e.<a href=""> and not < a href="">

Hi saisindhoorreddy palla. The opening <a> tag inside your "About" list item is not formatted properly.

Change it from: < a href="about.html">

To: <a href="about.html">

This should fix the error.

Pretty simple. In your second link, you've a space between the "<" and the "a". That's why it's not interpreted like a link.

Second point. Your code is not indented correctly... Hard to see the hierarchy of you HTML like this.
