Ordered and unordered lists

Lists are used all over the internet. They come in two flavors: ordered and unordered.

1. This
2. Is an
3. Ordered list

And...

• This
• Is an
• Unordered list

You can create a list using the <ol> tag for ordered lists, and the <ul> tag for unordered lists. Then, each item must be wrapped in an <li>, or list item, tag. Here's the code that generates the list I showed you above:

<ol>
    <li>This</li>
    <li>Is an</li>
    <li>Ordered list</li>
</ol>

And...

<ul>
    <li>This</li>
    <li>Is an</li>
    <li>Unordered list</li>
</ul>

For the next exercise, you are going to create a list of your favorite websites. Later, we will add links so you can access those links quickly. For now, focus on creating the individual list items.
