Articles not linking to section. Here is the code: <li><a href="#articles">Articles</a></li>

Every other section linked perfectly. I removed the code, re-added it, and still nothing.

Did you add the id of articles to the appropriate section element tag? Posting the whole source code would help more, also check out the Markdown Cheatsheet for tips on how to format it, to make it easier to read.

Hi Kristen,

your code looks correct.

Therefore I assume that the problem is within the "id" attribute that the link goes to...

Could you copy the complete code in here? Or maybe you find the problem already if you take a look at the id attribute...

If you copy the code make sure to include "´´´html" at the beginning of the code and "´´´" at the end so the code will be transformed into nicely readable code format here. :-)

Happy coding and always keep going!

Nils

You want to make sure that your section has the proper attribute id, that both of them are plural or singular, and they have matching uppercase/lowercase letters. Hopefully that helps.

So it should look like:

<section id="articles">
