Stuck on adding images to my footer

I'm not sure what's wrong here?

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">

Your anchor tags in the footer are incomplete. You need to add the href="" value with the desired links, close the opening tags, then you should be all good.

You're missing the ">" in the opening anchor tag.

<a><img src="" alt=""></a>

rather than 

<a <img src="" alt=""></a>

<a <img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook Logo"></a>
<a <img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo"></a>

Should be:

<a href=""><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook Logo"></a>
<a href=""><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo"></a>

You need to be sure you've closed all opening and closing tags (this means having angled brackets on both sides of the tag). It helps me if I write the outside tag first, like this:

<a href=""></a>

Then I add the internal tag:

<a href=""><img src="img/img.jpg alt="Image!"></a>
