Your <a> tag isn't closed correctly. Notice you have two sets of closing </a>'s. It should read:

<a href="http://twitter.com"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter logo"</a> <a href="http://facebook.com"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook logo"</a>

You have to be careful with the code complete feature as it will often add the closing tag for you automatically.

Thank you!

A couple of things to start with:

  • You forgot to close your <nav>.
  • Your footer has double closing </a> which should be fixed :-)
  • <a href="img/Gavin"> <img src="img/Gavin" alt=""> is missing .jpg or .png etc..

Thank you
