It seems you are missing the closing header bracket. Add that then the <nav> element.

<header>
  <nav>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
  </nav>
  <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1> 
  <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
</header>

If you look at your <header> tag, you are missing the ">", which messes up with the rest of the code.
