Hi Johnny,

You're doing great and this is a very common mistake.

You see the **"anchor" element (<a></a>) is not a descendant of the "unordered-list" (<ul></ul>) element. The problem in your code is that you got mixed up with the places.

It should go like this: 

<ul>
    <li> <a>Hyperlink text</a> </li>
</ul>

Hopefully it helps

Shay :smiley:
