Not sure if I'm just confused by the wording here or if it's something really simple i'm just overlooking. Super frustrating since I can't just see the answer after getting it wrong a thousand times.

let navigationLinks = document.getElementsByTagName('nav ul li');
let galleryLinks;
let footerImages;

- You have the right idea that the easiest thing to do here would be to reference the elements by a CSS selector, but the
getElementsByTagNamefunction only takes the name of a single kind of tag and returns an array of all elements of that tag in the page. In order to query the DOM using a CSS selector, you need to use thequerySelectorAllfunction, which takes a CSS selector as an argument and returns an array of all elements matching that selector - You're selecting the wrong elements with your CSS selector. This step of the challenge asks you to select all links within the
navtag, but your selector targets all list items in an unordered list in thenavtag. I know it's fairly counterintuitive, but in HTML, a link is actually represented by theatag
Once you take care of those 2 issues, I think you'll be on the right track for this challenge. Great job!
