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

What am I missing? <nav><ui></ui></nav> after the hyperlink in the heading tag.?i've tried formatting it many different

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

I believe the directions were something like place a nav tag with an unordered list after the link in the header section. don't worry about adding list items or links just yet.

I've also tried adding list item tags inside of the unordered list tags but this did not work either. any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel I may not understand the directions very well.

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

It is asking you to post it after your link, or anchor tags. Good luck.

You're welcome, remember most tags have a closing tag, if an instruction asks to write after a specific tag in this case "link" make sure you look for the 

</a>

tag before writing your new code.

Happy coding.
