Hey Shallah, it looks like you added an extra quotation mark to the end of your img links and you also forgot the closing >. An easy mistake, just have to keep an eye out for those little typos.

You wrote:

<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>

It should be:

<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>
