Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 2,343 PointsIn the CSS file, use the class to give both <a> tags 15px of padding and 10px of margin. .social-links:15px { <a>
Trying to figure out why this is wrong?
<!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>
.social-links:15px {
<a> padding:15px;
<a> margin:10px;
}

So .social-links { Without the 15px
You also donβt need the <a> in the css.

As you've already made a class selector (.social-links) all you have to do is add the styling inside and it will be used on the <a> tags.
.social-links {
padding: 15px;
margin: 10px;
}
I hope this helps
