index.html is linking to portfolio and sh#t hits the fan

I think I did this right.....then again its 5 am and I've spent the last 9 hour on this site so maybe not.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
      <a href="about.html">
      <a href="contact.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      </a>
      </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></section>
    <footer>

You forgot close a tag.

<!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></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>

Hiya,

I don't think you want the <a href links in the header element.

Also, you want to close the opening anchor tag before the link text. It should look like:

<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>

I hope that helps.

Steve.

The <a href link in the header is part of the assignment, but I did miss use the close anchor tag.
