HTML How to Make a Website Creating HTML Content Create Navigation with Lists

My code is wrong but I don't know why.

<header>
      <a href="index.html"><nav>
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
        </nav>
      </a>
    </header>

I am meant to be adding a <nav> element directly after the link in the header.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html"><nav>
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
        </nav>
      </a>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

It's asking you to create a nav element and ul element.

In your example, your <nav> isn't exactly at the end of the link. You have it positioned within your link. Watch out for the closing anchor tag and make sure it is started after that as Jason Chan has done. Good luck!
