how to Set the "Portfolio" link to navigate to the section of the page with the id portfolio

I'm confused

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

You need to add the # symbol and then the ID name that you have given it in the page. So for this example:

<a href="#portfolio">Portfolio</a>

Try adding a #portfolio after the href as shown below. 

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

By adding 'portfolio' after the # symbol, the user will be linked to the 'My Portfolio' section which is defined by the h1's id 'portfolio'.
