When setting up a link you need to enclose the text in your case portfolio in opening and closing anchor tags just like this: <a href="#targetName">portfolio</a> Then you wrap you target in an anchor like this: <a name="#targetName">Portfolio</a> Good luck.

Here's a few hints:

  • the navigation info should be entirely contained between the quotes after "href="
  • navigation to an element ID on the same page should be preceded by a "#" character
  • the beginning "a" tag still needs to end with a ">" character
  • the word "Portfolio" should still be between the tags
