I'm guessing you are on challenge 4 or 5 with the nested lists. It helps you visualize your lists if you align the starting tag with the ending tag. 

<ul>
    <li> Shapes
       <ol>
           <li></li>
       </ol>
    </li>
    <li>             < ! --- You have a open list tag without a closing tag -->
        <ol>
           <li></li>
        </ol>
    <li> Colors</li>
</ul>
