Add alt attribute text for Twitter. I have, but it's saying I haven't.

I've added the alternate attribute text for Twitter, but it's saying I haven't. I'm wasting time here. What have I missed?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
      </ul>
    </section>

Hey Dustin,

you almost got it right! Just make sure to write a = between the alt attribute and its value like so:

<img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook logo">
<img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter logo">

No problem and don't feel dumb because of it! :) Those small mistakes happen to all of us, believe me! :)
