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

I'm having trouble with task 4/4 of this code challenge. It's asking me to 'Add the items "About", "Cupcakes", and "Locations" to the unordered list.' I've tried everything that I can think of to correct it, but it keeps saying "Bummer! Add three list elements to the ordered list." 

<ul>
    <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Cupcakes</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Locations</a></li>

<ul>

One thing I noticed is it asks me to enter the items into the "unordered list" and the alert says "ordered list". Any tips would be awesome. There was a post on this 5 months ago, but the answers on there didn't help me. Thanks.

Can you show me what that would look like? I tried just deleting them and it didn't work. Thanks.

It would look like this: `<ul> <li>About</li> <li>Cupcakes</li> <li>Locations</li>

<ul>`

P.S. I did the code challenge correctly and you indeed need a ul tag not a ol.

Do what Elliott Frazier said and also try changing the list to an ordered list.

Hi Timothy,

I believe you should be adding them to an ordered list ol instead of an unordered list ul. Also the anchor tag a isn't required for this example. See below for a simple ordered list without the anchor tag, note this isn't your solution as Treehouse prefers that we don't provide the actual solution on the forum. I do believe it will help to resolve the issue:

<ol>
    <li>Chocolate</li>
    <li>Vanilla</li>
    <li>Hazlenut</li>
</ol>

Good luck on this. Let me know if you need any more help!

Hey Codie,

Thanks for the reply. I changed the code to reflect what you had above, with my links of course, but it still didn't work. It does have to be an unordered list because when I change it to an ordered list it flags the previous challenge as being wrong. I'm stumped at this point of what the answer is.

Alrighty, so I solved the issue. Originally I didn't add an ">" after my ".jpg" so the challenge thought the list and the image were together. After adding it I passed the challenge. This is funny since the challenge marked it correct when I added the pic. Anyhow, thanks to everyone for the replies. They all got me thinking and helped me solve it.
