Hey Daniel, make sure to follow the challenge instructions:

Create a navigation element with an unordered list element after the link inside the header

So a nav element, with ul element inside it, after the link. After the closing a tag...

good luck!

thx m8 !

Sorry for disturbing agian...

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

and the compiler says " the about list item should be linked to About"

what i can see if managed to do that already? i even copied the code from somewhere else and paste it in...:(
