HTML HTML Basics Getting Started with HTML Lists and Links Challenge

I am unsure of where to put the <a></a> to make the <li></li> a clickable link.

So I am putting the <a></a> around the inside and that didn't work. Then around the outside and once again not working. Do I not need <a></a> or is this a completely different problem?

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <ul>
      <li href="cakes.html">Cakes</li>
        <li href="pies.html">Pies</li>
        <li href="candy.html">Candy</li>
    </ul>    

  </body>
</html>

Hi Jared,

I think you're getting a little muddled between <li> (list item) and <a> (anchor).
First, you've put the href attribute that is part of the anchor tag inside the list item tag.
Second, as for the where to put the anchor tags, the challenge text reads:

Make the text inside each list item a link.

Thus the anchor tag should go around the text, but be inside the list item.

Hope that's clear,

Alex

You need to close your link tags and add an anchor tag. Other than that it looks like it should work. <li><a href.....>Pies</a></li>
