Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 17,305 PointsFooter social media icons not resizing
I think I copied this correctly, but my social media icons in the footer are not resizing, maybe I have an error in code I cannot spot, can somebody please assist.
First here is my index.html code, and then the CSS below:
<footer> <a href="https://twitter.com/chrismlalazi"><img src ="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo" class="social-icon"></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/cmlalazi"><img src ="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook Logo" class="social-icon"></a>
This is the CSS
.social-icon { width: 20px; height: 20px; margin: 0 5px; }

There is no error in your code. I executed in codepen and it showed the results as expected with the twitter and facebook images small.
May be you can save and refresh your browser.
Thanks, Aishu

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 17,305 PointsI refreshed several times. Do you think it might be an issue with Safari? And thanks for the effort I appreciate this.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 17,305 PointsThis is funny. While it was refusing to resize a while ago after countless refreshing of browser, now as you have said I have refreshed again and it has worked! Am confused why the browser let me spend almost an hour without responding. Thanks again Aishu, I know I will be back with more questions as I am still starting in coding and I am keen to master this and other scripting languages.

8,841 Pointsthere is no issue in your code.
can you provide us the html & css code so that we could find out which css property is overriding this one.
