how do I set the font size of the contact-info ul to 0.9?

I must be doing something wrong here as I've set the font-size of the ul to 0.9em as instructed - am i selecting the contact-info 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%;
}

.contact-info ul {
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

Hey Nathan,

I was able to get the challenge to pass by taking away the ul, but the better solution is provided by Alexander and Tom below in the answers.

best, Clayton

hey i think i got a good answer thereis no reason to remove it if you later need to be more specific in some code you should add it before 

ul.contact-info {
  font-size 0.9em;
}

this will not select all the items with the class contact-info but only the unordered list i hope this helps :)

Try taking away the "ul" in the CSS. This is not necessary due to the fact you have already given the "ul" a class - "contact-info".

If the "li" list item was named "contact-info" then you could code like you did above.

Hi Nathan, your code is looking for an unordered list inside an element with the class contact-info.

.contact-info ul {
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

You want it to be looking for an unordered list with the class contact-info. As an example, this is selecting a paragraph with the class main-text.

p.main-text {
  font-size: 0.9em;
}
