I correctly put the img/numbers-01.jpg and so forth correctly, yet it tells me I did it wrong... What did I do wrong?

I don't know what I if wrong

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li><a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">Ehh, Could be a Better Photo but Whatever</a></li>
        <li><a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">Weird Photo, but Still Cool</a></li>
        <li><a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">Cool Photo</a></li>
      </ul>
    </section>

you need to use the img tag instead of a link like this.

<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>

At the moment you have put links to the file paths of those images - that's what the 'a' tag is doing, but you'll only see the text that you wrote describing each image at the moment.

I think they're asking you to put the actual images onto the page with an 'img' tag, which takes a 'src' reference in the same way that you've written the 'a' with 'href' already.

Does that make sense to you?

it states add 3 blank list items into your unordered list. try removing the links from the list like this and it should work.

<section> <ul> <li></li> <li></li> <li></li> </ul> </section>
