the li is supposed to go inside of the ul. Like:

<ul>
    <li>One</li>
    <li>Two</li>
    <li>Three</li>
</ul>

Take a look at the "Markdown Cheatsheet" directly below the "Add an Answer" box on this page so that you can format your code legibly on the forum.

<ul> <li>Shapes</li> <ol> <li></li> </ol> <li>Colors</li> </ul> Add a nested ordered list to the "Shapes" list item. this is how it is supposed to be but there seems to be a glitch on the challenge because it is not just me whos having this issue

Well, if it is an "ordered list", then you should be using ol NOT ul.

<ol>
    <li>One</li>
    <li>Two</li>
    <li>Three</li>
</ol>

there is a ul with 2 li, one with Shapes and one with Colors on it... then it asks me to Add a nested ordered list to the "Shapes" list item. and that is exactly what I am doing but this is not just happening to me.....
