This looks correct in preview but won't validate.

28,793 PointsI hear ya. After almost a decade of HTML I still occasionally swear a blue streak because an image won't appear where it should... and then realize I used an href attribute in an image tag instead of src.. The simple things get you and are the hardest to see sometimes. I should make a poster to pin on my wall that says "If your image is not appearing make sure you are using src instead of href!!!!" ;-P

28,793 PointsYour last ordered list is not actually nested in the Shapes list item. It is situated between Shapes and Colors. A nested list should be enclosed within the list item tags of the list element you intend to nest it in.
You were sooooooo close though.
