Hi, Jesse. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're just having a little confusion with the terminology. The 'image tag' is simply the " <img> " piece of html. It is how you point to the location of the image you wish to display. It looks like in this exercise you have correctly utilized the <img> tag but unnecessarily included a hyperlink ( <a href> ) around it pointing to the same file location.

You have correctly created the unordered list, list items, and placed the image tag pointing to the proper location, You just added an extra step by wrapping them in hyperlinks.

Forgive me if I misunderstood the question. Hope this helps.

After searching through the forums, I found the correct answer. You are right, I was going a bit further ahead than need be based off the previous tutorial. You understood the question perfectly.

Thank you!

Hi Jesse,

The tag that you are looking for is <img>. If you wrap an <li> around that then it will be within a list item which is what you need.

I hope this helped!

Hi Luke, thanks for the quick response. I'm quite new to this. To clarify, the image tag I am looking for is "." (a period). Is that correct?

This is in reference to what I am working on currently.

<section> <ul> <li> <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt=""> </a> </li> <li> <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg"> </a> </li> </ul> </section>

Thank you for your help!
