tor magne brekken Hi there! You're actually doing quite well. The other answer left here by Aakash Srivastav is partially correct. You have forgotten to close a tag, but it's the anchor tags that aren´t being closed. This is true for all three of your list items.

You wrote:

<li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</li>

But you meant to write:

<!-- note the closing </a> after Cakes -->
<li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

Hey , you have not closed that li tag containing all the three li tag inside it.
Try this : 

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

  </body>

you forget the closing anchor tag </a>

for example it should look like this <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>

that will create the actual link your looking for.
