Courses Plus Student 17,967 PointsIf you look at your nav class ul, you will see href="#". The # needs to be replaced with the path to the page you want to link. # is just a placeholder to use while writing the code until you know the address of the linked page.

Courses Plus Student 17,967 PointsThis also has your problem that you posted about the PHP error. You should change your title to this:
<?php
/// The above line is so the quote formats properly. DO NOT put this in your code. Just change the line below this comment.
/// This is your current code:
<title><?php echo Shirts 4 Mike</title>
/// Change it to this:
<title><?php echo "Shirts 4 Mike"; ?></title>

Courses Plus Student 17,967 PointsThe issue with your links not working is because you have not written the links into your code. You have to do that for them to work. It doesn't matter whether you are using HTML or PHP. The same is true for both.
