can't set the font size

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

But its not working

css/main.css 
.contact-info ul {
font-size: 0.9em:
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}
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%;
}

after 0.9em you have a colon. font-size: 0.9em:

change it out with a semi-colon ; and it should work!

Hi Furkatjon,

Anthony is correct about the colon, but there are a couple other things to note,

First, in these challenges you should make sure to add your code to the end of the code already provided. This is especially crucial with CSS due to its cascading nature.

The next thing is that the wording of the challenge is a bit confusing, but it says

Select the unordered list with the class contact-info

All you actually need to do is select the "contact-info" class. The challenge is just letting you know that it happens to be an unordered list. The way you wrote it is trying to select an unordered list inside an element with the class of "contact-list", which doesn't exist.

So to select it:

/* at the bottom of the stylesheet */

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

As a side note, if you really wanted to get specific and select an unordered list with the class "contact-info" exactly as the challenge describes:

ul.contact-info {

}

This will do the same as above, but has a higher specificity and is unnecessary in this case.

Hope this helps.

I don't have an answer for this question but I just want to say that it's absolutely CRAZY the lengths people in the community will go just to stop and help someone out when they are stuck. This guy knows EXACTLY what he is talking about ^^^
