Willie - Your unordered list is not empty it has 4 <li> elements as it's children.

I also noticed you forgot to close your <img> element.

I had the same problem and James' highlighting the fact that the <img> tag was not closed solved my issue. It is interesting to note however that the video instructor also made that mistake. If we follow exactly then we end up with this error...

I was stuck on this one too - the lesson doesn't close the IMG element. Thanks figured it out now, that's the error.
