It says that the Portfolio item is not linking to index.html Sorry to be a pain, its just making me tear my hair out! I'm sure it's something stupidly obvious, but I can't see it :/

I, too, got the "task 1 no longer passes" problem despite going through the tasks and passing. It is also 'passing' tasks when the html is incomplete. I'll report it for a fix.
For now, though, duplicate the link at the top - it is in the wrong place, but humour the machine and complete it looking like a Portfolio link to index.html. That passed for me.

Try closing it with </ul> just before your first heading element and it should work. :-)

192 PointsThank you for your reply. I tried what you said, it is now saying that " task 2 is no longer passing " and took me back to the previous question....

57,712 PointsI'm having issues with this too - I went through the challenge when I saw your post, Rachael - something seems to be wrong, I think. I'll see if I can figure out what the problem is.

57,712 PointsThis is one for Nick Pettit to look into.
Nick, can you have a look at the order this challenge works in as it is passing incorrect code and failing correct code.
My screenshot of the pass, above, shows this. Plus, the route the challenge takes passes tasks 1 & 2, then on entering correct code for task 3, it fails task 1. The floating < a > above the < nav > needs to be duplicated, which seems wrong.
Thanks,
Steve.
