Hey Ramon, try wrapping the text within the a. Also copy the link exactly like it is. Adding the http//www won't work because it is asking to link to a particular file not a site so keep it the way it gives you in the challenge.

 <ul>
   <li>
     <a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a>
     <li>
       <a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
   <li>
     <a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
   </ul>

Hey Ramon,

There are two things going wrong here.

  1. You are missing the closing </li> for the first item (Cakes)
  2. Instructions are meant to be taken explicitly and are very specific. For the second task, it asks you to link to cakes.html, pies.html, and candy.html, but you are linking to https//www.cakes.html, etc..

So, just add the closing tag and change your href values to match that of the instructions exactly and everything will pass.

Keep Coding!

Hey Ramon, you not placing your <li></li> tags incorrectly and place the text between the the <a></a> tags. Remember to copy the exactly href given to you in the question

<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>
