<Below this line, add a link to the EXACT exercise that you are stuck at.>
https://www.codecademy.com/en/courses/make-a-website/lessons/site-structure/exercises/create-list

<Below this line, in what way does your code behave incorrectly? Include ALL error messages.> So My code is stuck. I’m doing all they tell me to (from a coding point of view, I’ve changed the content a bit because “Ollie Bike Sharing” doesn’t appeal to me). Anyway, if you’ve done the course before you will know that THEIR code is an impressive list that goes down the side of the page, but MINE goes down the page, and just pushes any content that’s obstructing it. Below is all the code I’ve used so far? Someone tell me what’s wrong please?

this bit of code should be between the body tags not head and also you are missing the closing ul tag

Thank you! I’ll see how stuff goes tomorow

It’s still not working. Here’s my new code:

<html>
  <head> 
  <title>The Apple Chronicles</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8"/>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css">

I believe this should have the class of center, center is not an HTML tag.

classes work like this:

<p class="class name"> paragraph text </p>

Also you still have a paragraph tag open

So you’re saying that if I put this code in, it’ll work?

zainabr1 · January 24, 2017, 10:24am

No, don’t copy and paste my code, what I’m showing you is the syntax you need to apply it in your code

ultracoder445 · January 25, 2017, 5:32am

Sorry, I just joined last Tuesday, and I can’t figure out WHAT you’re
talking about. Can you maybe give me directions as to what I’ve gotta do?

New to coding?

I wouldn’t suggest just jumping into Make a Website course, Please start with HTML & CSS as you will learn step by step.
