Hello, sir. =)

  • Also you do not need to always have < . /li .> all the time.
  • You were also missing the .html on you're contact area.

  • Other then that, I don't see anything else.

      <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>

Hi Lee,

You need the list tags inside the anchor tags like this:

<nav>
          <ul>
            <a href = "index.html">
                    <li>Portfolio</li>
            </a>
            <a href = "about.html">
                <li>About</li>
            </a>
            <a href = "contact.html">
                <li>Contact</li>
            </a>
          </ul>
    </nav>
