Hey there McKinley Butler ! 👋

There are two issues here that are giving you problems.

  1. Since we're setting the href value to an HTML file within the project, and not an external site's URL, we don't need the https:// in there. These challenges are pretty specific and picky so adding extra things that it's not specifically asking for can usually cause issues too, just so you know for future ones.

  2. The closing angle bracket > should be moved outside of the href values' string and to the end of it, and outside the quotation mark. For example on one of them...

<a href='cakes.html'></a></li>
