Hi Ariane,

If you look just below the text box area you will see something that says Markdown Cheetsheet. Also, there is a post here titled: Posting Code to the Forum by Dave McFarland. If you don't understand that maybe this will make sense: How to display code at Treehouse.

Jeff

I think this is what you want.

<ol>
      <li>Stop</li>
      <li>Drop</li>
      <li>Roll</li>
    </ol>

    <ul>
      <li>Shapes
        <ol>
          <li>Square</li>
          <li>Circle</li>
        </ol>
      </li>
      <li>Colors</li>
    </ul>

I'll give you a hint. You haven't added Your order list INSIDE of Shapes list item :)

If you are still stuck, try looking up this thread about nested lists: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5899337/proper-way-to-make-html-nested-list
