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.

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.....
