Workspace Showing Error Between </header> and both </body> and </html>

Hi,

My workspace is showing errors between </header> and both </body> and </html>, like something is not closed. All of these closing tags are highlighted in red on my work space.

I have been comparing this to the video and trying to find the error for two hours. Another pair of eyes would help, I can not find it.

Any help would be great! Thanks.

You have a malformed end tag.

The end tag for the link just before the nav should be "</a>", but you have "<a/>".
