I don't understand my mistake.

I think that I opened and closed the unordered list correctly but it won't pass.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  <ul>
      Cakes
      Pies
      Candy
    </ul> 
  </body>
</html>

Hi Diana,

You're half way there, but every item inside of a list needs to be enclosed in list tags (<li>)... you're just missing those.

:) :dizzy:

Hey Diana,

You almost have all the tags required for the list. You're correct with needing the <ul> and </ul> tags. When you want to add the list item, you need to add <li> before and </li> after for creating the list item for example <li>Cakes</li>.

Hope that helps you out.
