How are you writing out your markup, or this exactly how you have it laid out in your editor?

Remember that for an anchor tag to work (a link), it must be wrapped around the text you want.

An example:

<a href="#">A link</a>

It's only one of the many ways I have tried it and no its not in my own personal editor but from the test that it gives you. I have tried using it the same way Nick uses it in his videos but it still comes up with an error.
