I'm confused. I did include an img tag in my code complete with the / to show its relational, but I still got a bummer!?

My code is: <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">

What's wrong with it? I can't see.

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>
          <img src:"img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src:"img/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
        <li>
          <img src:"img/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
        </li>
      </ul>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <p>&copy; 2013 Nick Pettit.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

On your image tags, look at how you have your src attributes set. Hint - attributes don't use colons.

You wrote: <img src:"img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">

Replace that with: <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">

That should do the trick
