Hey Philip,

Could you paste the code that you are using?

Hey Philip,

The code challenge is case sensitive.

Look at the .html files that you are referencing.

Additionally, you have a " < " after <section> This most likely isn't contributing to the errors that you are receiving but I'd remove it just in case.

I went ahead and formatted your code so that I could read it easier. I'm looking into the issue now.

Link each of the three list items. Portfolio should go to “index.html”, About should go to “about.html”, and Contact should go to “contact.html”.

Glad to hear that you have it working now! Coding can be tricky :) and sometimes you just need another pair of eyes to look at your code.
