The fourth part of this exercise won't recognize my <nav> tags. Can you check?

It says to put <nav> tags around the first <ul>, which I've put in. However, it doesn't want to recognize the <nav> tags. I need someone to check and see if it is correct.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>

  <body>
     <header>
    <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
    <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
           </header>
    <section>
    <h2>Welcome</h2> 
    <p>Fusce semper id ipsum sed scelerisque. Etiam nec elementum massa. Pellentesque tristique ex ac ipsum hendrerit, eget feugiat ante faucibus.</p>

      <nav>

The "ul" that the instructions are referring to was originally the first thing in the body section in the supplied code, but now appears below several other items.

It looks like some content re-arranging has been done that was not asked for in the instructions.

Be sure to do only what the instructions ask for each task and nothing "extra". Hint: nothing will be moved in this challenge. All changes will involve simply placing containers around existing items.

I'll bet you can get it now without an explicit spoiler.

AHH! Thank you, everyone!

I misstructured the sections when I shouldn't have, but somehow it recognized the first part as correct anyway, leading me to a dead-end.
