408 PointsIn the href portion although I re-entered the attribute to pies.html after the equal sign I am told that I am wrong.
What should be done when the href attribute has been corrected within the anchor points?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Lists and Links</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul><li><a href=cakes.html>Cakes</a></li></ul>
<ul><li><a href=pies.html>Pies</a></li></ul>
<ul><li><a href=candy.html>Candy</a></li></ul>
</body>
</html>

<ul>
<li>First</li>
<li>Second</li>
<li>Third</li>
</ul>
Notice that there is only one <ul> tag in the list, and several <li> tags nested within that list. Every time you make a new <ul> tag, you're making an entirely new list, but you only want 1 with several elements (<li> tags) in it

47,913 PointsJason Anello pointed out to me that my first answer isn't actually the correct one to solve this issue. I didn't notice it at first glance, but in the code in your question, every element is wrapped in its own ul tag. This shouldn't be so. You only need 1 ul/ol tag to denote a list, and you can have multiple li tags within that 1 ul/ol tag, like this:
<ul>
<li>One</li>
<li>Two</li>
<li>Three</li>
</ul>

<a href="https://teamtreehouse.com/community/in-the-href-portion-although-i-reentered-the-attribute-to-pieshtml-after-the-equal-sign-i-am-told-that-i-am-wrong">This question</a>

408 PointsOh! Explicit entries lacking quotation marks. Yes, I misunderstood their inclusion.
Merci.

408 PointsI continue to have problems with these entries. I am unsure of whether the problem is that I have added the treehouse.com/HTML Basic to denote where the various HTMLs are to be found or whether I am adding to much after I have removed the <ul></ul> tags. What is your opinion?

47,913 PointsTreehouse challenges can be a bit finicky and they don't really like it when you add more than what they ask for. It's great that you're going the extra mile, but it'd probably be best just to make the unordered list and wrap everything in <li> and <a> tags like the challenge asks
Gerald Sellers
408 PointsMichael Hulet's answer seemed to be the best answer because it gave me the usage pointer of less response being adequate to meet the challenge task.

408 PointsI have tried to fashion my entry to resemble yours with little success. Example: <ul><li><a href="https://treehouse.com/HTML Basics/cakes.html">Cakes</a></li></ul>. I am unsure where to go from here.
