The answer is supposed to be wrong, however - this is my code:

</a> <nav> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html"></a>About</li> <li><a href="contact.html"></a>Contact</li>

it does link to about.html

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><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html"></a>About</li>
          <li><a href="contact.html"></a>Contact</li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Looks like you closed the a tag without "About" included. Same thing for "Contact". Portfolio is right though.

Hi Nicole,

In both these links:

          <li><a href="about.html"></a>About</li>
          <li><a href="contact.html"></a>Contact</li>

You have closed the anchor tag before the text for the link. So, move the closing anchor tag after the text:

          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>

I hope that helps.

Steve.
