Treehouse TeacherHi Neil Vastine, like Nick Nish said, you need to use 3 "back-tick" characters -- ``` -- to show HTML, CSS or programming code int he forum. This forum post explains it: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/posting-code-to-the-forum

Sorry it took me a moment, I had to go to the challenges themselves to see what went wrong because technically your code is totally fine.
It seems the challenge asked for you to enter in 3 img
s inside the li
tags, with an empty alt
attribute. It didn't however ask you to surround the images with <a>
tags. Try removing those and see if that works.

Treehouse TeacherYou only need to put the <img>
tags inside the <li>
tags. Leave out the <a>
and <p>
tags.

554 PointsWorked great after removing <a> tags, unsure why it'd be so sensitive to having those tags put in place. Thanks for the help!

7,304 PointsHey @Neil can you enter in the code after putting three ``` (dashes)? We can't see how the code was laid out if you only copy and paste it into the forums.
