CSS How to Make a Website Adding Pages to a Website Add and Style Icons

Adding Pages to Website

Question: Select the unordered list with the class contact-info and set the font size to 0.9em. Then, remove all margin, padding, and list styling.

My Answer: .contact-info ul { font-size: 0.9em; margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; }

Why am I wrong?

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

Try this...

.contact-info { 
font-size: 0.9em; 
margin: 0; 
padding: 0; 
list-style: none; 
}

If ul has a class of contact-info than selecting it's class and tag are redundant. It's basically selecting ul twice. You only need to select the class which represents the ul. If you needed to select the li items inside of the ul you could do something like...

.contact-info li { 
font-size: 0.9em; 
margin: 0; 
padding: 0; 
list-style: none; 
}

Hi Corey,

The question looks to be asking for you to: Select the unordered list with the class contact-info...

With the following you're selecting all ul with a parent class of contact-info:

.contact-info ul {

Try either:

.contact-info {

or:

ul.contact-info {

Hope that makes sense.
