Try changing <a href="../#portfolio">Portfolio</a> to <a href="#portfolio">Portfolio</a> since the h1 with the id portfolio is on the same page.

Hi Shaylene,

You're not trying to change directories, just linking to the portfolio down further on the page, so you don't need the ../ part. If you get rid of that, you are good to go!

Hope this helps.
