I cant add the image tag in the html

I did what was asked but I keeps saying it is wrong. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I have tried to redo it a couple of times.

index.html 
<!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>

          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>

The challenge says:

"Inside the three new list items, add the following images: "numbers-01.jpg", "numbers-02.jpg", and "numbers-06.jpg". Leave the alt attributes blank, and don’t add any captions or links. Just the images!**

Remember, you can preview your work by clicking the Preview button."

Remove your <a></a> and you should pass the challenge

The instructions for task 2 say "Leave the alt attributes blank, and don’t add any captions or links. Just the images!"

But the code here has each image wrapped in a link. Those should not be there.

Also, the name shown for the final image is "number-06" (singular) instead of "numbers-06" (plural).

You're also missing two of the "alt" attributes, but this particular challenge doesn't count that against you.

Hi There!

Firstly, you are missing the alt tag for the second and third image.

Next, challenges are very specific when it comes to the instructions, and I think you may have missed the part where the instructions state:

Leave the alt attributes blank, and don’t add any captions or links. Just the images!

Your images are inside links. Remember, instruction need to be followed exactly or the challenge will fail even if the code works outside of the challenge.
Here, there should only be an <img> tag inside of the <li> tags (3 lines of HTML).

Once you add the missing empty alt attributes and remove the links, the rest of the HTML looks good! :thumbsup:

Good job! :) :dizzy:

In the section element, we can add the img tag like this: <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>
