Hi Chris - hard to see issue without your code however is it possible you have added the normalize.css link underneath your main-styles.css ? This would cause cascade issues with your selectors and could very well be resetting your li selector.

thanks for the reply Taylor, as it happens the bullet points next to the images where removed later on using the list-style: none; code.

Yep, this is the same with mine. Normalize.css file doesn't remove the bullet points on the images. Currently, I have no other css file linked.

That is because of these lines of code in normalize.css:

nav ul, nav ol { list-style: none; list-style-image: none; }

That removes the bullets/numbers from the lists only inside the 'nav' element.

Strangely enough I have the same problem, however my 'normalize.css' file has what has been described by others here

      ```css
      nav ul,
      nav ol {
      list-style: none;
      list-style-image: none;
      }
      ```

I am correctly linking to the css file in my html file using the code:

      ```html
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
      ```

Not sure what is going on. Can anyone help?
