Hey Ian,

You are just missing the semicolon after each HTML entity.

You have the right idea, but your syntax is a bit off. An HTML entity starts with an ampersand (&), then the keyword (it should match case with what's in the list linked in a moment), and then a semicolon (;). For example, the HTML entity for the cent sign (¢) looks like this: &cent;. A list of HTML entities and their symbols can be found here
