Newbie with Spacing Problems While Adding Unordered Items

Hey all! I am a complete noob and am a little stuck. I currently working on rebuilding the "Smells Like Bakin" site but have run into a problem. I am tasked to first add an unlisted item. Now I am tasked to add three list items but for some reason I am getting extra bullet points added within the script. Instead of it being -XXX -XXX -XXX It appears as

-XXX

-XXX

-XXX my code seems fine but I can't move on to the next level :( Any help would be great! BTW - I am sorry if I have explained this in a crappy way, I have only been at this for a day and a bit now! Thanks in advance

This is how you code a unorderd list

<ul>
 <li>Item1</li>
 <li>Item2</li>
</ul>

I think you need to take a look at how "how to make lists" in html, there are great guides outside treehouse such as www.w3schools

Some say the usefulness of w3schools is questionable.

W3schools has serious issues with outdated content. Also the fact they are often confused with the W3C and have no affiliation and refuse to note this on their site seems kinda unethical.
