I'm really lost on this question: Don't forget the opening curly brace following the rule's CSS selector!

I'm very lost on this error message that came up during one of my exercises.

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>List Example</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
  </head>
  <body>

    <a class="social-links" href="#">Follow me on Twitter!</a>
    <a class="social-links" href="#">Send me an Email!</a>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
.social-links 
  15px padding: {
  15px padding: 10px margin;
  15px padding: 10px margin;
}

Hi Megan, First of all your opening curly brace is on the wrong place. It should be next to the .social-links rule. Then check the padding and margin properties. You should write property first then set a value for it.

.social-links {
  padding: 15px;
  margin: 10px;
}
