whats wrong with my code ? its showing error make sure you add <nav> right after the link to index.html..

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Nick Pettit</title> </head> <body> <header> <a href="index.html"> <nav> <ul> </ul> </nav> <h1>Nick Pettit</h1> <h2>Designer</h2> </a> </header> <section></section> <footer> <p>© 2013 Nick Pettit.</p> </footer> </body> </html>

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

I think your mistake is adding the nav tag after the anchor opening tag, you should add it after the anchor closing tag </a>

So your code should be like this:

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

Hi Mateo, I moved you answer to the answer section so that the community can vote on it. You also had posted your answer twice so I removed the extra one. :)

Make sure your closing nav tag goes after the 'ul', not before..you should be nesting the 'a' tag and h1&h2 inside the nav like so...

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