Look at the actual href part of your code. It is always easy to make a mistake and flip letters around. Some of your code is down as herf instead of href. Change that and your code should work. Take a look at the other href below twitter, as well!

Correct, looks like a typo. Just to add to Mark's explanation, you have:

<a herf="http://www.twitter.com"></a><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="twitter logo">
<a herf="http://www.facebook.com"></a><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="facebook logo">

As you can see, the href is spelled herf, which is causing the error. To correct this issue just fix the typos and you will be fine:

<a href="http://www.twitter.com"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="twitter logo"></a>
<a href="http://www.facebook.com"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="facebook logo"></a>

Along with the href, the closing anchor should be after the image file. Then when you click on the image, it will route to the website respectively.

<a href="http://www.twitter.com"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="twitter logo"></a> <a href="http://www.facebook.com"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="facebook logo"></a>

Good catch, I've updated my code.
