Also just something I noticed, why is your entire nav wrapped in that a tag leading to index.html?

25,370 PointsMake sure you're fully reading the directions and following exactly what they're asking. No need for the li elements at the beginning. It specifically says not to add those during the first part of the challenge. Also, it says to add your nav AFTER the link inside of the header.

Kyle Biancardi
1,674 Pointsalso you are linking your headers so make sure ur h1 and h2 tags are within the anchor element then close anchor tags the start your nav tags

There you go!

25,370 PointsAll the text you're inputting in this forum is actually using a language called Markdown. Click on the Markdown Cheatsheet at the bottom of the text boxes to learn more about it. Basically you do exactly what Omar said. You use the three back ticks before and after the code you want to show. You can also give an optional argument after the first three back ticks which is the name of the language you're writing in. That's how you get it to color properly. By the way, the back tick is on the same button as the tilde(~), don't confuse it with the single quote.

Courses Plus Student 12,188 PointsHi Ayush, here is how: You can learn more about anchors following this course:
https://teamtreehouse.com/library/html/links/anchors
Just make all the course including css. In the code you provide the link "index.html" with the anchor looks like has a closing out of place. So go on following the course and you will get the way of doing this if it was not a mistake.
Just as example solution can be:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Nick Pettit</title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
<li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>
<a href="index.html">
<h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
