Hi,

Is this stage 2?

If so, your tags are in the wrong order that's all. You need the nav element and it's child elements after the closing anchor (a) tag. Your code should look like this:

<header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
       <nav>
        <ul>
         <li>Portfolio</li>
          <li>About</li>
          <li>Contact</li>
        </ul>
       </nav>
    </header>

Hope that helps.

-Rich

Check where the end tags of your a element and the nav element are.

Child elements need to be completely contained by their parent elements.
