Hi Katrina,

There's a couple of thrings wrong before you can move on.

You need to close the opening part of your a tag so the browser recognises the link as a link. Secondly, to wrap the link around the text add the closing </a> after the text but before the closing </li>

e.g. 

<li><a href="x.html">Text</a></li>
