On the test, I have entered the code as I watched from the video, and I am getting an error.

I am getting an error message that says I am not referencing "img/numbers-01.jpg"

My line code reads as an example for the first tag...

<ul> <li> <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg"> </a> </li>

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>
          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
             <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt"">
        </a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">
             <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt"">
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">
             <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt"">

I would look your code over a bit more closely, as I see some stuff going on that is likely causing some problems.

    <li>
      <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">
         <img src="img/numbers-02.jpg" alt"">
    </li>
    <li>
      <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">
         <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt"">
    </li>

where are the closing tags? There might be more, but this is the initial HUGE red flag.

Thanks, Yes I realised that the moment I posted the code, I actually had them in there but had to dummy up the code again to send a screenshot of it. Thanks for the input. I actually fixed it by removing the anchor href, apparently they didnt want the link in the code for the test portion.
