<nav></nav> isn't working? Why not?

I have added nav to my html and it won't accept it. Why is this?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>My Portfolio</title>
  </head>
  <body>
   <article><nav> <ul>
      <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Work</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>            
    </ul>
      <h1>My Web Design &amp; Development Portfolio!</h1>
  <p>A site featuring my latest work.</p>
    </nav>
    </article>

    <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>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Recent project #3</a></li>     
    </ul>

    <p>&copy; 2017 My Portfolio</p>
    <p>Follow me on <a href="#">Twitter</a>, <a href="#">Instagram</a> and <a href="#">Dribbble</a></p>
  </body>
</html>

Hi there! The challenge asks you to place this inside:

an element that represents a group of introductory or navigational content.

Here is the definition of the <nav> element by MDN.

What it's looking for is another element which often contains a <nav> element inside it.

Take a look at this documentation

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

edited for additional note

I'm not exactly sure where you're getting stuck now. But if it's at step 1 it's because the <nav> element isn't being asked for. If it's further down, it's because you've removed things that you previously had in place. The <header> element is now missing entirely from your code.
