Because you didn't type the class where you had to type it. At the moment the class isn't assigned to the '<li>' tags, look closely... Here is the correction. In fact there is an extra '>' in your code.

<section> 
        <h3>Contact Details</h3>
          <li class="phone"><a href="tel:555-6425">555-6425</a></li>
          <li class="mail"><a href="mailto:bamsef@me.com">bamse@me.com</a></li>
          <li class="twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_=andreasferber">@andreasferber</a></li>

You didn't show your CSS code. Which exact class doesn't work?

Maybe you should do this:

            <section class="section"> 
        <h3>Contact Details</h3>
          <li> class="phone"><a href="tel:555-6425">555-6425</a></li>
          <li> class="mail"><a href="mailto:bamsef@me.com">bamse@me.com</a></li>
          <li> class="twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_=andreasferber">@andreasferber</a></li>
      </section> 
            ``` 

and select like:
 ```css 
.section {
}

No, this is not good, you do the same mistake. You don't assign correctly the class, look your code, It can't be.

<!-- As exemple THIS IS NOT GOOD!-->

            <li> class="phone"><a href="tel:555-6425">555-6425</a></li>

<!-- But THIS IS GOOD, just delete the extra '>' after '<li' -->

          <li class="phone"><a href="tel:555-6425">555-6425</a></li>

Easy, I overlooked. I usally do PHP, so that's way.
