Hi Mason,

You might need to re-watch the video.

Firstly, you need to create the List Item using a li list item tag.

Within that List Item tag, you can place your image.

You add an image within the Image tag img.

For example:

<ul> <!-- This is our Unordered List -->
    <li></li> <!-- These are our List Items  -->
    <li><img src="./img/my_image.jpg" alt="My Image"></li> <!--This is our image tag inside the List Item-->
    <li><img src="./img/another_img.png" class="img_class"></li>
</ul>

Hope this helps explain it a bit better. I recommend re-watching the video and then you will get it.

Hi Mason! You are not adding any img tag into your ul list! An image tag looks like this:

 <img src="source/img.jpg" alt="alternative text for your image">

So if you want to add that to your UL , you must sorround those tags with the list item, like this:

<ul>
 <li><img src="source/img.jpg" alt="alternative text for your image"></li>
</ul>

Hope you find this answer helpful!

Cheers and Keep Coding!
