Linking it all up how to question

Hello! its my first day and im trying to see what's wrong with my code or where I may have messed up at.

im just following along the intro part where she's linking up the resume to the main page but it doesn't seem to work and I can't find where my problem is.

I think the lines in question is around 30-37 area. Thanks in advance!

Your quite right, it was between 30 and 37, I believe it's on line 33 The quotation marks appear to have been accidentally misplaced.

<a href="resume.htmlview my resume".</a>>

should look like 

<a href="resume.html">view my resume.</a>

Hope that helps

I'm not sure I understand, in the workspace you just posted, line 33 in index.html still hadn't been fixed and was displaying 

<li>To learn more, <a href="resume.htmlview my resume.</a>><li>

which is closer...maybe I should break it down a little further.

you need <a href="resume.html then a " (closing quotation), after that, you have to finish your A tag with a > (right arrow) symbol. It should look like this

<a href="resume.html">

Now we add </a> to close the A tag, making this

<a href="resume.html"></a>

Now the link text (View my resume) will go in between where the arrows meet ></a> like this >text</a>

The final result of all this should look like

<a href="resume.html">View my resume</a>

Please note that there is an arrow symbol on BOTH sides of the text "View my resume". Here is how the complete line should look like

<li>To learn more, <a href="resume.html">View my resume</a></li>

I know it can be hard at first, but you have to copy the symbols identically. A computer isn't like a human where they can understand what you meant and can overlook small errors. The computer doesn't have a brain, and if everything isn't exactly the way it expects it, it will often cause a problem and make it fail. Don't worry, spelling errors give a lot of people trouble starting out.
