I feel like this is correct but it won't let me submit the answer...

What am i missing here?

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="cakes.html"Cakes</a></li>
      <li><a href="pies.html"Pies</a></li>
      <li><a href="candy.html"Candy</a></li>
    </ul>

  </body>
</html>

You don't end the opening tag of the a elements you have written. Both the opening an ending tag needs to start and stop with < and >. You have left the > off the starting tag.

If you add them like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lists and Links</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="cakes.html">Cakes</a></li>
      <li><a href="pies.html">Pies</a></li>
      <li><a href="candy.html">Candy</a></li>
    </ul>

  </body>
</html>

Then your code will pass.

I'm such a n00b. Thanks for the help. It's embarrassingly obvious now.
