Challenge 3: I thought I did it right, but it said I wasn't linking Portfolio to index.html. <li><a href="index.html">

<li><a href="index.html">Portfolio></a></li> is what I had, but the challenge said it wasn't linking to index.html. What did I do wrong?

As far as I could tell, all 3 items in the list were formatted the same way, but it said I did Portfolio wrong. I don't understand!

Liz;

On which course and challenge are you working and can you post your code to the forum so we can see what code you are using? There is a Markdown Cheatsheet link below that describes how to post your code.

Thanks.

Remember to add in the text that will print in the Line Item and then to close the reference link with </a>

Thanks, Ken and Sherry. The Markdown Cheatsheet didn't really help. I've had it happen before that if I just gave up for the night I got it right the next time I tried---esp. when I look at it and can't see why one line works and another doesn't.

On my Workspace, only one of the 3. About, actually shows up as a hyperlink, and darned if I know why!

I've spent a couple hours off and on tonight on this, maybe that is too long in one stint.

Good night.

Honestly, I can't choose a best answer--I read everything, tried again with a fresh brain the next day. The image now shows up when I click on Portfolio, but not sure I know what I did.

But then, when I talk to people my age who barely know how to do email and look at websites (or don't go online at all), maybe I am doing pretty well.
