<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>

Ryno Botha
Courses Plus Student 4,055 Pointshaha no problem ^^
what step are you stuck on?
Step one:
Add the Nav tags with ul inside, don't add the li tags just yet.
And make sure the Nav tag is under the Link (a tag in the header)
click Check work-
Next they'll ask:
"Inside the navigation element, create three list items with the words, “Portfolio”, “About”, and “Contact”. Don’t add links yet."
So just add the li tags inside the ul tag.
Click check work-
lastly make sure it looks like Christopher Halls code:
https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/is-this-challenge-broken
and then click check work-
SIDONY SMITH
1,454 PointsOk this is what I have done and this is like my um-teenth attempt at this challenge.... Inside the <header> tag, I placed <a href="index.html"> Then inside that <a> tag, I placed the <nav> which has inside the <ul> opening and closing tags...... At the end of all that, there is the closing </a> tag....I did it exactly how Chris Hall has his example and it still said I should recheck work...I restarted my project and its still giving me the same message....I have been stuck here for 1:30 mins....Frustrated.......

Courses Plus Student 4,055 PointsJust Copy and past, see if it works for you~
SIDONY SMITH
1,454 Pointsok, its official this challenge MUST be broken...I have tried ALL the suggestions from the previous posts, watched the tutorial a trillion times....copied Nick's final syntax, and IT still is telling me to recheck work....The stupid part about this thing is that it doesnt even give you a hint...it just asks you to add the obviously already added element....ok its official...Code Academy it is....
Ryno Botha
Courses Plus Student 4,055 Pointshaha not sure why your's is not working, but trust me Treehouse is better ^^
Can help to do both, but just keep trying to use Treehouse.
You'll get used to everything xP trust me~
SIDONY SMITH
1,454 PointsOk Ryno, I took your advice, AND.....just copy & paste....even with that perfect example...its still telling me to recheck work....it must be broken....My next step will be to contact Tech Support, because this is a colossal waste of time.....Thank you VERY much for all your help, its been invaluable...I am sure I will have other early morning issues with this thing....so look out for me in the future....haha..Thanks again, appreciate it...
Ryno Botha
Courses Plus Student 4,055 Pointshaha no problem x) don't mind helping, just sorry I couldn't help you today xO
Yeah just e-mail them and let them know x) should help
Because I had a problem where I completed the challenge haha but didn't want me to move on x,X (didn't say check work, said I completed it, but couldn't move on and didn't get the points)
So found out I had to run my browser incognito mode for it to work ^^
