Hi Moses,

You are missing the closing tags for the nav and ul tags.

It should look something more like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <nav>
          <ul>
            <li>Portfolio <a href="index.html"> </li>
            <li>About <a href="about.html"> </li>
            <li>Contact <a href="contact.html"> </li>
          </ul>
        </nav>    
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Hope this helps ?
