none of my css is linking to the contact page.

The contact list doesnt appear to be changed and none of the iconography is appearing on the page. 

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

.contact-info a{display:block;
                min-height: 20px;
                background-repeat:no-repeat;
                background-size: 20px 20px;
                padding: 0 0 0 30px;
                margin:0 0 10px;}

.contact-info li.phone a {
                background-image: url('../img/phone.png');}

.contact-info li.mail a {
                background-image: url('../img/mail.png');}

.contact-info li.twitter a {
                background-image: url('../img/twitter.png');}

 <h3> Contact details</h3>
      <ul class="contact-info">
      <li class="phone"><a href="tel:555-555">555-555</a></li>
      <li class="mail"><a href="mailto:travis.ramey@gmail.com">travis.ramey@gmail.com</a></li>
      <li class="twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_name=travis_ramey">@travis_ramey</a></li>
      </ul>

This may sound stupid - but sometimes things like this are very tempermental

margin:0 0 10px;}

put a space between margin: and 0?

Actually there's a few places without a space between the property and the value

If your main.css in your css folder? Was it possible it was accidentally moved outside your css folder and into your root directory inline with your index.html?
