Treehouse TeacherWell, so far I see a couple of problems. Your meta tag should look like this:
<meta charset="utf-8">
Secondly, in three places you've manages to type in "herf" instead of "href":
<a herf="index.html">
<li><a herf="about.html">About</a></li>
<li><a herf="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
Change the "herf" to "href" and see if that doesn't make a difference!

Treehouse TeacherWell, first and foremost, you've not yet linked a CSS file to your HTML nor have you included a style section or even any inline styles. This indicates that what you're seeing is an already visited link. In most browsers the default color for a visited link is purple. So likely as not, you're seeing exactly what you're supposed to be seeing at this point.
If, however, you need further assistance later it might be worth mentioning that at the bottom 
Hope this is useful!

1,185 Pointsjust so I know, this is what I need to do to post code in future?? Code
Wrap your code with 3 backticks (```) on the line before and after. If you specify the language after the first set of backticks, that'll help us with syntax highlighting.
```html
<p>This is code!</p>
```
Oh, and I am currently on the "structure the image gallery" video.. I have checked his code line for line and his is blue. I understand why mine is purple as per your message but his is blue so I figured I missed something Thank you tho
Jennifer Nordell
Treehouse TeacherRight! That's how we post code here 
My guess is that his are blue simply because he hasn't clicked his yet. And yours are purple because you have clicked them. Just keep going along the track, and it'll end up correct!

The question tells me to: make sure you include an image tag "numbers-01.jpg"
no matter how many times I try to write it and even though I can successfully show my code works in workspaces I keep getting this answer wrong.
can you see where I might be getting this wrong? I know my indenting sucks a bit sorry
thank you

Treehouse TeacherAgain, I would advise that you post this as a separate question to the Community preferably by using the "Get help" button from inside the challenge. This will have the added benefit of us being able to view the challenge you're currently working on.
However, just from looking at the error message, I can tell you this. It says "make sure you include an image tag". Your code currently has no image tags. Remember an image tag is <img>. What you have are anchor tags <a>. Also you have a closing paragraph tag after your closing html tag, and this isn't correct. The last tag in an HTML file should be </html>.
Hope this helps!

Treehouse TeacherIt would be helpful to see both your html and your css files (except for normalize.css). Tips on how to post code to the forum can be found by clicking on the Markdown Cheatsheet linked on this page.
