Can't Find Linking Error In Navigation

I'm stuck on a challenge task and keep getting the message:

Bummer! The Portfolio list item should link to "index.html".

I'm not able to find the error in my code. Any assistance is appreciated.

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

Hi Leslie,

you have a couple of errors in your code.

You closed the anchor tag in the wrong place and you didnt close the unordered list and the nav tags.

this is how it should look:

<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">About</a></li>
            <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
      </ul>
      </nav>
</header>
