Looks like you have now completed the 2nd part of the challenge and you are on the last part. Set the "Portfolio" link to navigate to the section of the page with the id portfolio.

So, let's go through this... you have a section with an id called portfolio that you have to link to. You have tried just linking to #id which will not work as that's not the id name of portfolio section, but a good attempt and you almost got it right. Just try replacing #id with the actual name of the section they are asking for. In this instance they want you to link to the portfolio, so #portfolio would be heading in the right direction here.

Ok for the portfolio link, you need to tell the page to navigate to the "My Portfolio" section of your page using the # symbol and the id of the portfolio element within that href tag:

#portfolio
