I'm stuck on a code challenge that asks me to link each of the three list items. Portfolio should go "index.html," About should go to "about.html," and Contact should go to "contact.html." How do I link each of my three list items?
<!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>
<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a><li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a><li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a><li>
<li>Portfolio</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact</li>
<ul>

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 38,322 Pointsremove these lines because they will just ruin your nav and add extra lines:
<li>Portfolio</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact</li>
because the first three lines are enough:
<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>

71,830 PointsJason, you have all the pieces. It's just that you need to have only 3 list items, not 6, and the 3 need to be links:
<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>

A note for the developers: Getting this error a lot during exercise:
There was a communication problem.
If you continue experiencing problems, please contact support at help@teamtreehouse.com.

5,727 PointsJason, by the way you are not closing your list items.
