Hi Jesse,

There are actually two things going wrong here.

  • One, the anchor tags need to be inside the link tags in order for them to be part of the list.
  • Instructions / Challenges are very picky... you are using Title case for the links when the instructions ask for lower case.

Below is how the code looks once the <a> are moved and the case is corrected.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
    <li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
    <li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
    </ul>
  </body>
</html>

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
