only thing I see is on img 01 the closing anchor element is out of place and I see no closing unordered list element. But other than that I don't see anything wrong.

The only thing I see that may be throwing the code off is that you may have deleted your closing bracket for the unordered list in your section element.

Just before the section closing bracket try inserting </ul> . Hope this helps. Mindy

Hi,

You have added more than the challenge requires and so it is marking it as incorrect:

Inside the three new list items, add the following images from inside the img folder: "numbers-01.jpg", "numbers-02.jpg", and "numbers-06.jpg". Leave the alt attributes blank, and don’t add any captions or links. Just the images!

It doesn't ask for paragraph (p) tags or anchor (a) tags wrapping the images. Remove these leaving only the list items containing image tags and you should be sorted :)

Hi,

It does, which you've done. However, it doesn't mention to include the anchor or paragraph tags as you have.

So where you have:

<li>
          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
           <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
            <p></p>
                     </a>
        </li>

You would only need:

<li>
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
        </li>

You would then repeat this format for the other 2 list items.
