It's just a little mistake, you used a opening tag to close your nav.

Just look at this, this is your code and on the last line you can see how did you close it:

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

This is what it should look like, just close that tag how you have learned and everything should work fine.

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