<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
<li><a href="cotact.html">Contact</a></li>

The problem is your link text was not between the <a></a> tags. So the text was not linking to anything.

You need to move the link closing tags </a> behind the words itself.

And you have a typo: cotact.html should be contact.html.

Good luck!

Problem noted thanks guys
