Again it will not allow me to write a rule in the styles.css. Is this a recurring issue?

Is this going to be an issue everytime I need to complete a task?

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>List Example</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
  </head>
  <body>

    <a href="#" class="social-links">Follow me on Twitter!</a>
    <a href="#" class="social-links">Send me an Email!</a>


  </body>
</html>
styles.css

I had no trouble switching to the "style.css" tab and entering code just now. This may be something you need to talk to the Support staff about.

Be sure to tell them what platform and browser you are using.

I've never had that issue before. Maybe try a different browser? I've used both Firefox and Chrome with treehouse without an issue.

Maybe try closing your browser and ending its processes then trying again?
