Can't nest an ordered list under unordered list: shapes.

<ul>
<li>Shapes</li>
<ol>
<li>Circle</li>
<li>Square</li>
</ol>
<li>Colors</li>
</ul>

What am I doing wrong? When I preview it, it looks correct.

Hey Judy! I added the Markdown needed to make your code clearly visible to the community. Be sure to review the Markdown Cheatsheet for proper syntax when posting questions and comments. :) Happy coding!

I can't see your code so I'm not sure what you're doing wrong. Make sure that the entire ordered list code is INSIDE of the shapes list item (ie -- before the closing </li> tag.

Hey your HTML code should look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>HTML Lists Challenge</title> </head> <body>

<h1>HTML Lists Challenge</h1>

<!-- Write your code below -->
<ol>
  <li>Stop</li>
  <li>Drop</li>

</ol>
<ul>
  <li>Shapes<ol></ol></li>
  <li>Colors</li>
</ul>

</body> </html>
