Going nuts here; followed instructions to a t, but still getting an error message. Help!

How would you have done this?

Hi May,

There are a couple of things wrong with your code.

First, and what is causing the "Bummer!" is your spacing. You need a space between img and src as they are two very separate parts of the tag.

Second, and this is just style and formatting, but wouldn't throw an error, is your indentation. It is a really good idea to make sure you indent correctly (your <li> tags). Indentation is very important when you are trying to read code (especially code that is not your own).

The corrected section of code is...

<section>
  <ul>
    <li>
      <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
    </li>
    <li>
      <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
    </li>
    <li>
      <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
    </li>
  </ul>
</section>

Hope this helps and Keep Coding! :)

i just did that one i think it's a bit broken. even though the video had you link the img/number. you're supposed to leave out img/ in that one.
