The answer to your solution is a pretty simple fix. I could easily give you the answer but that's never a good way to learn. On the other hand, the answer to your question is in the video. I would suggest, you hand write the code to help you remember what you have learned, it's easy and simple!
Here is the link HTML List - Ordered and Unordered You can start the video at 3:00 minutes, and then watch it from there. Remember to take notes, it is very helpful, and taking notes will help you learn.

Got you Mike. Thanks!!!! I laugh at myself when I solve a simple problem that took me hours.

But Mike I did rewatch the video and did exactly what it said and it is still incorrect.

So, you were not able to solve it?

no but ill look at it again thats my job.

Not a problem. In your unordered list you have several list elements li nested inside your ul. Now, take a look at your first li /li element that you have. Think of your li list as your unordered list +ul. The next step you want to take is to drop down your closing /li tag which will open up your li element. That's where you will want to nest your ordered or unordered list inside your opening and closing li tags.

Here is a link Nested List just scroll down to the nested list section. Keep up the good work!

mike do you have a email address. i need to show you something fast.

just emailed you.

Make sure that you indent child elements for each list so you can keep track of open and closed parent tags. Also, each list element needs to be surrounded by an open and closing list element tag. I hope you were able to solve this!
