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

for whatever reason the editor keeps giving me error for css that I'm sure is correct.

The task is to set font size to 0.9em. And I'm using:

font-size: 0.9em;

and it keeps showing an error.

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%;
}

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

Hey Ali,

You're so close with your selector! :) When the challenge says "Select the unordered list with the class contact-info", that means to just use ".contact-info" as a selector. If you put ".contact-info ul" that would mean you would be selecting another unordered list inside the unordered list with the class contact-info. So, all you have to do is remove "ul" from the selector, and you got it!

You're selecting a ul that is inside .contact-info, need to fix the selector and you'll be good to go:

ul.contact-info

Thanks to you both. I understand exactly what is explained now. TYSM!

You're very welcome, Ali. I think we all need someone to take a look at what we're doing every once in a while so we can get a fresh perspective! :)
