I am a little confused on this one. The title says "Add the items "About", "Cupcakes", and "Locations" to the unordered list."
But when I get it wrong it tells me "Bummer! Add three list elements to the ordered list."
First it tells me to add the items to the unordered list, then when I get it wrong, it tells me to add them to the ordered list?
This is what I have that is not correct for some reason.
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Smells Like Bakin' Cupcake Company</title> </head>
<body> <img src=img/cupcake.jpg <ul> <li>About</li> <li>Cupcakes</li> <li>Locations</li> <ul>
</body> </html>
Please Help!

You also might want to think about remaining your post.

39,199 Points@Donald - There are acutally 2 things going on here.
Firstly, you're right, there is a typo in the hint text, it should say unordered list.
Secondly, there's missing an angled bracket in the code you posted, which is why it isn't passing the code challenge step.
An easy way to spot missing brackets is to paste your code into a text editor with syntax highlighting.
If you don't have a favorite text editor, just use codepen.io, that way if you are still having issues you can share a link to your code on the forums and we can easily take a look at it.

2,379 PointsYep, it was the missing bracket. I overlooked it cause it still worked without the bracket on the second and third steps. Thanks for the help.

39,199 Points@Donald - You're quite welcome.
As for why the code worked until that point, the code challenge grading engine only checks the code required for the current step (as well as all previous steps).
