Hi, I think you're missing </a>, the closing tag for the <a>. Try add like this (*after the Cakes, Pies, and Candy) :

<li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li> <li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li> <li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>

Hi Alfred, the closing tag for <a> should be </a>, NOT like this <a/>. You just need to change the " / "position

Hey Alfred! You are actually correct. You can refresh the page because I did so and it accepted the code.
