Hi

I'm not if you are ahead on the on the challenges but the above has too many images for the task. Also I would look at each of your list items in the code as you open a <li> tag and there is one that does not have a </li> closing tag. But I looked at the task and this code worked. Hope it helps and shows you what I meant by the closing and opening of tags.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>Nick Pettit</title> </head> <body> <header> <a href="index.html"> <h1>Nick Pettit</h1> <h2>Designer</h2> </a> <nav> <ul> <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li> <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li> <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li> </ul> </nav> </header> <section> <ul> <li> <img src = "numbers-01.jpg" alt = ""> </li> <li> <img src = "numbers-02.jpg" alt = ""> </li> <li> <img src = "numbers-06.jpg" alt = ""> </li> </ul> </section> <footer> <p>© 2013 Nick Pettit.</p> </footer> </body> </html>

I did not expect the code to copy and paste like this, if you copy it space it out it will look a lot better and pass the coding challenge.

For proper code formatting, use the instructions found in the Markdown Cheatsheet pop-up below the answer section. :arrow_heading_down:

You seem to have added things the instructions did not ask for.

I'm not sure if you're on task 1 or 2, but task 1 says to create a list "with three blank list items." Even if you have gone past task 1, your code has five items, not just 3. And if you're on task 1, they certainly aren't "blank". Also be careful to match up your starting tags ("<li>") with ending tags ("</li>").

On the other hand, if you're on task 2, the instructions say "don’t add any captions or links." But all your images are enclosed in links and have paragraph captions! (Plus you still have too many of them).

Start over, and do only what the instructions ask for.
