I did what it asked, why doesn't it know that?

Add a nested ordered list to the Shapes item.

yeah, like this:

<ul> <li>Shapes</li> <ol> <li>Triangle</li> <li>Circle</li> <li>Square</li> </ol> <li>Colors</li> </ul>

Or am I missing something?

Hey Sarah,

When you are trying to paste your code in these forums, wrap your code with some markdown so it'll show up as code.

Start with 3 backtick ` marks, then html, insert your code and end with 3 more backtick ` marks. Take out the quote marks when you're typing it out.

It may look something like this:

```html
<ol>
</ol>

Or click on the link right under the text box named Markdown Cheatsheet. Hopefully that'll help.
