Hi there! First, you're doing terrific, but some things in your code are a bit backward. A list item or <li> is the only direct descendent allowed in a <ul> or <ol>. This means that your links will need to be inside of your list items. Currently you have your list items inside your links.

Your setup:

<a><li></li></a>

The setup it's expecting (and valid):

<li><a></a></li>

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
