Can anybody help me with this? Where could I have gone wrong??

Am I putting the Id element in the wrong spot?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Portfolio Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <img src="../img/logo.png" alt="Site logo">
    <ul>
      <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="">Portfolio</a></li>                
    </ul>
    <section>
    <h1 id="portfolio">My Portfolio</h1>
    </section>
  </body>
</html>

The id is done correctly so it should work for you, but from the information that you have provided I'm not sure what the challenge is asking you to do.

For task 3, you'll need to fill in the value of the "href" attribute (which is currently empty) on the link that contains the word "Portfolio".

I was told that if you want to put in a dummy hyperlink in an href, you should use: "#" for the link and not just have nothing between the quotes.

But in this case, the challenge is expecting something specific there, so neither blank nor "#" is the correct value.

Also, the "#" symbol isn't a "dummy" value, it means "go to the top".
