Link each of the three list items. Portfolio should go to “index.html”, About should go to “about.html” ect..

I keep getting this error code - Oops! It looks like Task 2 is no longer passing.

<!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>© 2013 Nick Pettit.</p> </footer> </body> </html>

You are missing a forward slash / in the closing tag of a list element containing the link to the Portfolio page. :)

<!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> <!-- Here was the problem-->
            <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> 
            <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> 
        </ul> 
    </nav> 

    </header>

    <footer> <p>© 2013 Nick Pettit.</p></footer>

I think the only problem is here that you forgot to close the first list tag!

It should be like that:

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

What am I doing wrong? 

<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>

I keep getting an error that says "The Portfolio list item should link to "index/html"
