I think i am doing exactly as the question says, but still i am getting an error message . Why ?

why is it asking me to add the "portfolio" list, when i have already done the same?

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>
        <li> portfolio</li>
        <li> about </li>
        <li> contact </li>

        </ul>

      </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>

Hi Prateek. Welcome to Treehouse.

The challenges are very specific and picky. The second tasks asks you to "create three list items with the words, “Portfolio”, “About”, and “Contact”. "

Pay very close attention to the words, as they have to match exactly with spelling and capitalization. Your words aren't capitalized. Also, you have some spacing between the tags and your words. All this will cause a Bummer.

Just remove the spaces and capitalize the words and you will be good to go.

You should also be more consistent with the indentations as this will become much more important as you move forward. Please look at the completed and corrected code to see what I mean.

      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li>Portfolio</li>
          <li>About</li>
          <li>Contact</li>
        </ul>
      </nav>

Keep Coding! :)
