Cant figure out how to make the list. I cant see what I'm doing wrong.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav> 
        <ul>
          <l>Portfolio</l>
          <l>About</l>
          <l>Contact</l>
        </ul>
      </nav>

Hey Lev, You made a mistake with the list tag. You are suppose to write li inside the the angle brackets for it.

You're missing a few letters. Within your ordered list, each list element should have the opening tag <li> and close with </li> where you currently have <l> and </l>

I hope that helps.

<ul>
