I am mid way through the New York Blog exercise and I am having trouble with the Ordered List - It’s all on one line? Wondering what I’ve done wrong…
Hello @mindymoo. Welcome to the forum. It is difficult to tell from looking at your screen shot, but it appears you may have nested the page elements incorrectly, and the CSS for the wrong parent container is being applied. If you could post your entire HTML code using the </> button, we can take a look. Make sure you use the </> or your code will not show up in your post. Here are some brief instructions:
Press Enter to go to a blank line, click that icon, and you will see this:
Just copy and paste your code directly from the editor into that highlighted portion.

Try to move the back up right after the for the navigation bar
Hello, I seem to have hit the same snag as mentioned before. My organized list is showing up all in one line. I’ll attach my code. I’ve completed the project and everything looks to be fine except this and it’s driving me wild not being able to figure out what is wrong.

The CSS is changing how your list items display. In the CSS file we have the following selector:
nav li {
display: table-cell
}
Your ordered list items are included inside the <nav></nav> tags. Should they be? (They shouldn’t) 
You should review the first three steps. You have a few things nested inside the <nav></nav> tags that shouldn’t be. Your <header><h1>New York City</h1></header> for example should be right after the closing </nav> tag.
