Issue with Create Navigation With Lists challenge

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/create-navigation-with-lists

Hi, am getting stuck in challenge three of How To Make A Website... Create Navigation With Lists challenge.

I get told that my code is correct in question two, then I answer question three (correctly I think) and get a message saying "oops question two no longer passes... have tried several times, but can't get it to budge, what to do?

can you provide us your answer so that we can help you to identify the mistake you have done ?

This happens in challenges when you make a mistake in the challenge, a error will be thrown that previous question no longer passes.

Your navigation should look like this...

      <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>

You haven't shown us your code so it is hard to identify where you went wrong, but definetly compare so that you learn from it rather than just copy and paste my code.

Some common errors would be having Portfolio, About & Contact outside of the anchor "a" tag but still inside the list "li" tag
