@Brittany - Just to expand upon what @Gareth said, the reason you have to do it that way is because the only valid child of a ol or a ul is an li. So a nested ol must be inside an li

Hi Brittany,

It looks like you haven't nested the ordered list between the list item - your code is this:

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

It should look like this:

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

I think that should do it :-)

Brittany,

It looks like you've placed the ordered list outside of the closing </li> tag after 'Shapes'. Try this:

<li>Shapes<ol></ol></li>
