I am not sure why the ending half of my code is highlighted red and the elements are not finishing properly.

My code is messed up somewhere along the way and after inspection I can not find the mistake. These two things are the noticeable problems I am having.

Hi Brandon,

I noticed there's no " after index.html in the following line of code:

<header>
  <a href="index.html>

Should be:

<header>
  <a href="index.html">

Also, there are a couple of opening tags where there should be closing tags, and as Kelly mentioned, an extra anchor closing tag in this block of code:

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

Should be:

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

You have an extra anchor closing tag before the word Portfolio. It should look like this instead:

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