Screenshot of my code attached. Everything looks good, aside from the error message. Anyone see anything unusual? Let me know! (screenshot below)

I think the problem might be that you have put the nav element inside the link in the header as opposed to directly under it.

try moving the entire nav to just under the closing </a> tag.

Yep, I tried it out, looks like this should pass....

    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>  <!--- You want to make sure this closing tag is before your nav -->
      <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>

In your screen shot the nav was inside the link with the h1 and h2 headings.

I'm wondering why you're getting that error message. Unless it wants you to link them like so: 

<a href="index.html"><li>Portfolio</li></a>

Haven't taken the quiz myself, but that's all I can think of.
