Hi,

I'm new here myself so this may not be correct, but the first thing that jumped out to me is that the href line hadn't been completed;

try changing;

<a href="index.html"

to;

<a href="index.html">

Hope this helps.

Scott

this should be <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
