I think I ran into a bug. Task 1 passes and without changing the code it says it fails on task 2.

Uhhhh.

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

The code checker can indeed be a bit buggy. In this case the bug is the part where it let your code pass task 1, the part where it complains about your code being wrong is correct.

You nav tag is missing a closing tag, and you have added your code within the (a) link element, rather than below it like the instructions specified.

The code for task 1 is meant to look like this:

<!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> <!-- Moved nav outside a tag -->
        <ul> 
          <li></li>
          <li></li>
          <li></li>
        </ul>
      </nav> <!-- added closing nav tag -->
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>
