HTML How to Make a Website Creating HTML Content Create Navigation with Lists

What does "put the nav element directly after the link 'header'"

It is one of the questions and I am stuck on it

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <nav></nav>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>

Because he said with an unordered list element

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="u``tf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section></section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

The question asks to "create a navigation element with an unordered list after the link inside the header."

So the header is this part:

    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
    </header>

And the link inside the header is the <a href="index.html"></a> tags (and everything inside them). You want to put your nav element after the closing </a> tag.

    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
