Problems with the classes

I cannot figure out why when I add a class and then try to resize my social icons to be smaller it doesn't work! Can somebody help?

I have my classes added to my HTML like this:

 <a href="www.twitter.com/stanziwicht"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo" class="social-icon"></a>
      <a href="https://www.facebook.com/stanzi.wicht?fref=photo"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook Logo" class="social-icon"></a>

and in my CSS I formatted it like this: .social-icon { width: 20px; height: 20px; margin: 0 5px; }

But nothing happens. What am I missing?

have you tried including the "a" in the CSS.

For instance:

        ```css
        a .social-icon {

width: 20px; height: 20px; margin: 0 5px; } ```
