I think should be background-size: 20px 20px; .contact-info a { display: block; min-height: 20px; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: 20px 20px; padding: 0 0 0 30px; }

Hi,

As in the comment from Nurul, the correct code is: background-size: 20px 20px;.

That is because a single attribute of 20px doesn't cover all the dimensions like when setting padding, for example.

A single attribute will set the width attribute, leaving the height defaulting to auto. So you need to use two dimensions which will amend the width, then the height.

I hope that makes sense.

Steve.
