I have no idea what's wrong with my code. It seems to match the video but it fails for whatever reason.

Hello, I'm not sure what's wrong with my code. I just want eyes on this so I know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

    <meta charset="utf-8">

        <h2>Designer</h2>

Hi Elaine,

It looks like your first list element is missing the forward slash character ("/") in the closing tag. If you add that back in it should fix it.

Hi Elain,

I went over the quiz. Benjamin is spot on; your missing the '/' in the closing li tag.

Good luck!
