For the first challenge just leave the <li> elements empty. I'm not sure of the second challenge. If it states to leave the alt attribute blank, your HTML looks functional. A noteworthy piece of advice is to always check the path of the image. If it is located in the same directory as your HTML file, you wouldn't have to provide the /img before the image file name.

Thanks Justin, the second challenge is proving hard to bypass, the code appears correct, it asks to leave the alts blank and just upload the image file. I've used the standard format <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-06.jpg" alt=""> and closed the anchor yet i can't complete the task. I removed the img/ to see if it made a difference, no such luck?

Justin - I did it, it was a case of playing with the img/ filepath as you suggested. Thanks for your help much appreciated.
