why is this wrong

Bummer! Add three empty list items (<li></li>) to the unordered list

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Bryan Baldasaro | Designer</title>

Have you tried fixing the missing closing anchor tag element here?

<a href="index.html" <h1>Bryan Baldasaro</h1>

I ran your code through this HTML validation tool: https://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input and found some errors:

  • line 11 you need to close your <a> tag before the <h1>
  • lines 58 and 59 you’re missing “=“ in your src attribute

Also, the instructions say to add three empty list items inside the unordered list. You have 5 and they’re not empty. The extra stuff you added is cool but these challenges have something really specific that they’re testing.
