Am taking the stage 3 code challenge. Just can't get past the challenge on adding a link to my facebook and twitter accounts. They keep sending me back to task one anytime i add the href to the social media accounts.

You need to add closing tags to the Facebook and Twitter links before you start the img links. Just > should do it.

Exactly, Like this for extra clarification. Insert a > before the <img tag

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/frednara"> <img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="facebook logo"></a>
<a href="https://twitter.com/Saforo123"> <img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="twitter logo"></a>
