In my HTML code, </footer> is highlighted in red. So is the </body> </html> at the end. Any ideas why?

This is the "header" section of code. The closing </header> is in red but my code seems identical to that in the video. Is any of this incorrect? Thank you!

<header> <a href="index.html" id="logo"> <h1>James Freyre</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>

Looks like you have a typo in your code. It is in your anchor closing line after the designer title. You put <a/> instead of </a>. It'll be the third line in this code. (btw, if you want to put code syntax in forums on Team Treehouse, refer to the MARKDOWN CHEATSHEET link at the bottom of this page below the post input, but basically, add three ``` before your code and hit return. Everything after will appear as it does below:)

<header>
   <a href="index.html" id="logo"> 
    <h1>James Freyre</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>
