I swear I'm typing this code in correctly. Where is my mistake?

Can someone check my lines to see where my mistake is?

Michael,

To include your code you can use the "ticks" button three times (they show up when you hit the key to the left of the #1 key, the one with the tilde on it) on the top line...then copy your code section in...then do a return and another set of three ticks.

That way we can help you because we can see your code. (This confused me at first too).

Hello Michael,

I think I understand where you are having difficulty without even seeing the code. Try placing this in your html code.

<nav>
      <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html" class="selected"> Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
      </ul>
</nav>

Hopefully that helps!
