if you messed up the links, you can return to the previous page, then go back, and it will reset

// erdrag.

For task 1 you just need to add the ul and li tags.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <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>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li></li>
        <li></li>
        <li></li>
      </ul>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Then for task 2 you need to add the 3 img tags into the empty li tags that you created in task 1, containing the path to the images and the blank alt text.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <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>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li><img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""></li>
        <li><img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt=""></li>
        <li><img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt=""></li>
      </ul>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

and that's all that the code challenge is asking you to do.

So the only code that you need to add is ...

Task 1

      <ul>
        <li></li>
        <li></li>
        <li></li>
      </ul>

and then in Task 2 you update it with

      <ul>
        <li><img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""></li>
        <li><img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt=""></li>
        <li><img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt=""></li>
      </ul>

and just to clean up your header section, you have too many closing "a" tags.

    <header>
      <a href="index.html"></a>
        <h1>Natalie Stebbins</h1>
        <h2>My Drawings</h2>
      </a>
    <nav>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
        <li><a href="about.html"></a>About</a></li>
        <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
      </ul>
    </nav>
    </header>

should be

    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Natalie Stebbins</h1>
        <h2>My Drawings</h2>
      </a>
    <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>
    </header>
