There is a forward slash ( \ ) after the anchor </a>

Hello! I agree with josephpatrickpotot about your typo with slash, but additionally, as I think, it is not very good idea to have links to the same file you are working in now - index.html, because after click you don't get any new content or part of your main page. You should target any part of this page, scroll to that part (where your portfolio and so on for example) and you use to h1, h2 in same link - as a block elements, so they display on different lines. User should think there are two different links and it is not so!!! You can style them like inline element like this h1, h2 { display: inline; } They will be on one line or use <span> </span> tag and include there "developer" and style it differently, font-size less than h1 tag if you want it to look smaller than your name.
