Help with CSS formatting

I am trying to get through a question here and it tells me to set the font size to 0.9em. I have done the following code and it won't accept it

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

try ul.contact-info instead of .contact-info ul I noticed through my trial here at treehouse that the coding challenge isn't always the way they explain it in the video.

I think the "ul" bit of your code is uneccesary. (perhaps, Im by no means an expert :p) So my suggestion would be to just type:

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

Hello Cassandra,

Please look at the question carefully, are you being asked to target the size of the text? If so try targeting the a element:

.contact-info ul li a

Let me know if that helped :)
