Text Editors & HTML course, issues w Code Challenge: 'Images and Lists'

I'm having trouble with task 4/4 of this code challenge.

This is my code for the particular task of adding About, Cupcakes & Locations to an unordered list.

<ul>

  <li><a> href="#">About</a></li>

  <li><a> href="#">Cupcakes</a></li>

  <li><a> href="#">Locations</a></li>

</ul>

However each time I submit the code it keeps saying "Bummer! The first list item should be "About". I'm not sure if I'm missing something but I already have 'About' as the first list item, yet it won't recognize this. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks! PS. I also had the unordered list tag above the list where the code should be but it won't show up when this post is published for some reason?

@Michael -

 <a> href="#">About</a>

The issue with your markup is that you, href is an attribute inside the <a> tag, so it should be <a href = "#"> instead.

Let us know if you have any more questions.

You have a error in your code. You close the tag a before the href You code must be like this <a href ="#">.....</a> not <a> href ="#"> .....</a>

I hope you have help

This is the correct code: 

<ul>

  <li><a href="#">About</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Cupcakes</a></li>

  <li><a href="#">Locations</a></li>

</ul>
