Treehouse Project ReviewerHi there Tifara!
It appears you have a small syntax error which is the whitespace between your href attribute and its equals (=) sign between the quotation marks. You also have the same formatting after the value Cakes.html with a space before the closing anchor tag </a>.
This should fix it:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Lists and Links</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
<li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
<li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
Don't add whitespace between an attribute (href) and its value ("cakes.html") and before the closing tag of elements </a>
Also, try to use lowercases for your pages instead of Cakes.html, use cakes.html...it might be another cause for error!

For the most part, whitespace in HTML and CSS doesn't matter. Here it's not the whitespace that is causing the Tifara's error. While ascetically it looks better without the spaces, and no spaces is the common practice, it won't cause an error. Here there are two error. One a syntax and one a spelling error.
I just wanted to add some more detail to your answer and to provide further clarification as to why your provided code passes, while the posted code doesn't.
Keep up the nice work in the Community!! :)
