2,640 PointsSocial Icons are not down sizing
So I've been following along with Nick's course, which is very detailed and excellent. However, Whenever I declared the class social-icon for my social links, then changed them to:
social-links { width: 20px; height: 20px; margin: 0 5px; }
then save, then refresh the page, the icons are still big. Why?????

html
.social-icon {
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
margin: 0 5px;
}

7,259 PointsIf the social links are a class you would want a period before the social links (.social-links) .. are you able to post your code so we can get a better look?

2,640 PointsHey Brian, left my house not too too long ago. Do I add the . to my CSS file or the HTML file?? And how do I post my code?

7,259 PointsSo on your css file, where you are calling the social links, you want to put (.social-links {width:20px} ) sorry if I'm not explaining that to you in better detail :( .. I hope that makes since.. instead of just doing (social-links {width:20px} )
