Hi Paul,

You'll need to provide a bit more information than that. You can use the Markdown Cheatsheet just below the answer box, which will tell you how to copy code into your forum messages.

paul kinsley - I fixed the formatting with your code.

For future reference, the forum uses markdown to correctly format code, check out this thread on how to type code in the forum for some examples.

I put your code in codepen and your <nav> looks fine, so I'm not exactly sure what your question is.

However, I did notice one issue, you forgot to close your <a> element.

If this is regarding the challenge Stage 3 - Creating HTML Content? The index link should only be wrapped around the h1 and h2 element and not your nav, your nav should be below your h1 and h2 elements sort of like this:

<header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li>About</li>
          <li>Contact</li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
