Hi Matteo,

It is your first link - it should point to index.html, you have linked it to portfolio.html so if you amend that, you should be fine:

      <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>

:point_down: index.html not portfolio.html

<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>

:point_up:

Let me know if that fixes it for you.

Steve.

sounds like your on "how to build a website"? What is the code challenge, can you attach the question or video so I can see what he's asking you to do?

Code challenges are linked in the top right of forum posts, if the question is asked from the challenge directly.

Link each of the three list items. Portfolio should go to “index.html”, About should go to “about.html”, and Contact should go to “contact.html”. this is the question

Exactly; and your Portfolio link doesn't go to index.html it goes to portfolio.html. So, if you change your first link from ... 

<li><a href="portfolio.html">portfolio</a></li>

... to ... 

<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>

... then you should be fine.

Steve.
