Hey Kjetil! You a little off here, first is that the challenge asks you to link all the 3 list items, not just the pies and cakes. Secondly is that your should not be linking the list item, you should be linking the actual text. Lastly, i dont recommend using the random identation stuff you have done, it can cause trouble sometimes. Your code should look like this:

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

Damn you fast! got to love teamtreehouse, thank you. Thanks for the indentation-advice, i just had a hard time controlling my OCD, the closing tags were not on a line, haha!

I saw now that the anchors should be inside the li's, and that i forgot the last list item. I am sorry to disturb for this, i guess i had too much coffee this morning.

Have a great day behar
