Help with <Nav>

I'm having trouble with this section.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Jonathan Hope</title>
  </head>
  <body>

        <h2>Designer</h2> 
        <nav>
          <ul>
            <li></li>
            <li></li>
            <li></li>
          </ul>

Place your <nav> element after the anchor element (</a>)

Also, not sure if it matters, but the code challenge says not to actually create any list items yet, so that might help to delete those

Very close!

Your mistake was putting your <nav></nav> tags inside of a set of anchor (<a></a>) tags. Be careful not to get overwhelmed by this kind of thing, it helps me to sometimes add extra whitespace between different elements.

This code passes the first task:

<!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>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>
