Is this challenge broken?

Initially I wasn't able to progress in the challenge unless I left the nav and ul tags open and now it's telling me that Portfolio is not linked to index.html. Am I missing something or is this broken?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Marty Kokes</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
        </nav>
        <h1>Marty Kokes</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
    </header>
    <section></section>

I see the problem. In your case this error is being caused because a link cannot be inside another link. You inserted the nav element in the wrong place. It should be just below the </a> tag, like this:

<a href="index.html">
  <h1>Marty Kokes</h1>
  <h2>Designer</h2>
</a>
<nav>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
    <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
  </ul>
</nav>

Edit: looks like you figured it out already!

Nevermind I'm blind, I was adding everything within the link instead of after it.
