I'm stuck adding images. I've done exactly as instructed and it say that I've done something wrong, what do I do?

I've added the unordered list and the three list items, which were correct and allowed me to move to the next step, adding the images. When I do exactly as it says in the video and instructions, I get an error that says 'Bummer! Make sure you include an img tag that include "numbers-01.jpg" (or something to that effect). I'm not sure what to do and need some instructions on how to remedy the situation. I want to make sure this is the right training website for me before my free trial is up.

Hi Kaleb, It looks like you did not close the img tag with a ">".

Try this:

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

In HTML, img tags do not have an "end tag" like the list item tag in your code, but it still has to be closed as above. Also, notice the syntax highlighting in your screenshot. Do you see how the "</" before the "li" is red? Like this:

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

This is giving you a hint that that there is an error in your code.

Let me know how you make out.

Jeff

There were a few errors in my code and the solution/hints you provided helped fix that particular problem and helped me in other challenges.
