How to set font-size to 0.9em?

My code challenge is saying that I need to set the font-size to 0.9em. Attached is my code. What am I doing 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 {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

Hello, to what element are you supposed to give that value? Here you're assigning it to the list element, and that looks fine, but maybe the code challenge was asking you to give it somehwere else?

It says to add to unordered list with class contact-info

Oh, ok then it could be that in the html you give the ul tag the class contact-info and then in the CSS you use the name of the class only. The way you;re doing it you're targetting an unordered list if it was inside an element with the class contact-info. If you delete the ul part of your CSS code it should work fine. Or if you invert the order and have no spaces between the ul and the class name like so: ul.contact-info

Maybe the css selector is wrong. If it says to add the property to the ul with the contact info class. The css selector should be ul.contact-info instead of .contact-info ul.

This will work. 

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