Challenge task 1 of 3: Add a class called "social-links" to each anchor tag.

This is my code, I'm doing something wrong, I've tried 2 combinations but neither appear to be correct, please help:

no1: <!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>List Example</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"> </head> <body> <div class="social-links">
<a href="#">Follow me on Twitter!</a> <a href="#">Send me an Email!</a> </div>
</body> </html>

or no2: <!doctype html> <html> <head> <title>List Example</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"> </head> <body> <div class="social-links">
<a href="#">Follow me on Twitter!</a> </div> <div class="social-links">
<a href="#">Send me an Email!</a> </div>
</body> </html>

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>List Example</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="social-links">    
      <a href="#">Follow me on Twitter!</a>
      <a href="#">Send me an Email!</a>
    </div>  
  </body>
</html>
styles.css

In both cases, it looks like you added the class to a new DIV tag you created.

:point_right: But the instructions say to add the class to the anchor tags.

(you won't need a DIV tag)
