<ul> </ul>
If I remember correctly, then the first challenge was just to create an unordered list. Here's what your code should look like:
<ul>
<li>Item1</li>
<li>item2</li>
<li>item3</li>
</ul>
Try this with the item between the tags substituted with about, cupcakes, etc.

19,206 PointsI'm assuming that you're creating an unordered list with three items in it. If so, you should have an opening and closing ul tag. Between those you should have three opening and closing li tags. Between each of those li tags you should have one of the items they tell you to add. There should be no spaces between the li tags and the item. If that doesn't help, I'll try to explain a little better.
