Hey there! I'm going to go out on a limb and it looks like you are not formatting your page correctly in regards to html. Take a look at the example below that has various elements of html formatted correctly. Remember, anything you plan on displaying needs to go between the <body> tags of your html. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Some Title</title>
</head>
<body>
      <!-- image in displayed with html -->
      <img src="image/something.jpg">

<!-- a unordered list in html -->
<ul>
    <li>Cats</li>
    <li>Dogs</li>
</ul>

<!-- an unordred list with images -- >
<ul>
    <li><img src="image/something.jpg"></li>
    <li><img src="image/somethingelse.jpg"></li>
</ul>

</body>
</html>

I just went back and completed the section called Images and Lists and I assume you're stuck on this challenge:

"Add the items "About", "Cupcakes", and "Locations" to the unordered list."

If so, your code should look like this:

<body>
   <ul>
      <li>About</li>
      <li>Cupcakes</li>
      <li>Locations</li>
    </ul>
</body>

Your list item tags should go between your opening and closing unordered list tags, which all go between the opening and closing body tags like so. Your Doctype tag should be at the very top and not involved.
