Build a Cat Blog Page - Step 9

HTML-CSS
1

Tell us what’s happening:

I am stuck on step 9 due to an error telling me that I should have “Posts” as the text for my second li element. So I retyped it and made sure that had closing tags on all elements. But the error insists that I am doing it wrong.

Your code so far

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Mr. Whiskers' Blog</title>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <h1>Welcome to Mr. Whiskers' Blog Page!</h1>
      <figure>
        <img
          src="https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/curriculum/css-photo-gallery/1.jpg"
          alt="a cat peacefully sleeping"
        />
        <figcaption>Mr. Whiskers Sleeping</figcaption>
      </figure>

even on the a elements?

3

do the a elements need one?

4

why should they not need one?

5

I thought that they were void elements.

6

they need to contain text, if they do not have a closing tag how can you say which text is inside the a element?

7

That makes since. I thought anchor elements were void elements! I’m so sorry thank you!

8

remember, if it needs to contain things it can’t be void

I’ve added the closing tags on the anchor elements but it tells me the same thing is wrong.
