why did the numbers of the ordered list go away?

When I set the things on 'ol li' the numbers weren't there anymore!

Hey there,

Is the background color of your page white as well, like in Guil's video? The CSS property color: white; sets the font color to white, including the numbers. So it will appear as if your numbers disappeared, but really they are now just the same color as the background.

You can try doing something like color: blue; instead to see the difference.

I would assume that your CSS is broken. Validate it here.

Or you have added list-style-type: none; to your ordered list.
