HTML How to Make a Website Creating HTML Content Organize with Unordered Lists

I'm certain that I've done this challenge correctly, but am repeatedly told that I haven't.

After trying to input the code without relying to the Workspace code, numerous times, I went as far as to copy & paste the Workspace code, making sure that I also kept the alt attribute empty as requested.

Hello Jonathan,

Just out of curiosity did you unzip the file they were contained in? Then after that did you create the folder img?

Jonathan,

The problem you're running into here is that the challenge does not want you to wrap your images in anchor tags. If you remove the links from around your images, you'll be good to go.

You have:

 <ul>
        <li>
        <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"><!-- do NOT add anchor tags around your images -->
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
            <p></p>
          </a>
        </li>

<!-- more list items below... -->

You need:

 <ul>
        <li>
          <!-- no anchor tags -->
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
            <p></p><!-- technically, you can remove these empty paragraph tags, as well... -->
        </li>

<!-- more list items below... -->

Jonathon- Your code should look 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>
