Not wanting to correct Mike above for a type but remove the trailing / before closing the tag. So it is:
<li>
<img src="img/numbers-02.jpg">
</li>

Courses Plus Student 16,968 PointsHi Tim,
It appears the problem is due to the fact that you are actually using anchor tags instead of img tags, to use an img tag you would do this:
<li>
<img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" />
</li>

Courses Plus Student 16,968 PointsGood point, I still have some old habits from the XHTML 1.0 Strict days where it was required :) These days you can pretty much go without it. Although, I would like to point out having the closing slash will not cause any issues in rendering.
