First, you ALWAYS start with either the <ol></ol> tags or the <ul></ul> depending on which list you'd like to create. Inside of those tags, is the <li></li> tags, where you actually put the text/image you're listing.

"ol" stands for ordered list, which means that there will be numbers before each list item. Ex:

1.Cars 2.Boats 3.Trucks

"ul" stands for unordered lists. In other words, there will be only bullet points beside each list item. Ex:

.Cars .Boats .Trucks
