Selector Question

Would I be better off assigning a class or id of the .contact-info li.phone a to shorting the selector? I had noticed the other day while reading Shay Howe's Guide that writing lengthy selectors is considered bad code. Thanks Michelle Pepe

Either would work fine, you can shorten it however you want. If you don't need anything else with the same styles, you should probably use an ID, though.
