I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't get the phone and mail icon to work on my contact page (I don't use Twitter, so I left it out). Can someone help?
.contact-info li.phone a{ background-image: url("..Img/phone.png");}
.contact-info li.mail a{ background-image: url("..Img/mail.png");}

Your image paths are not valid.
You can use "../" to back one directory. Your missing the slash before "Img".
This should work.
.contact-info li.phone a{ background-image: url("../Img/phone.png");}
.contact-info li.mail a{ background-image: url("../Img/mail.png");}

In case you didn't quite understand the file paths and why they really worked, when/if you feel ready, maybe you can check out the Console Foundations -> Getting Started with the Console -> Moving Around the File System (it's a bit trickier, but its worth it :P) .
Keep up the good learning!

5,576 PointsI will definitely check that out! I could use more study on the file paths and their functions.
Thank you, take care!
