19,748 PointsAll lists will be vertical in HTML as you have to add CSS in order to get the horizontal lists, like the type we see in navs and footers. For example: <li>apple</li> <li>pear</li> <li>banana</li> The Html above will give you the typical vertical list. -apple -pear -banana The CSS below will translate it into a horizontal list. For this example I used the inline-flex method: li { display:inline-flex; } apple pear banana As you progress through the various courses on Treehouse you will find there are other ways to do this. A quick google search will also give you more info. Hope this helps. -Jo
