The mission: Please add a 15px padding and a 10px margin to the social-links class

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

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
.social-links {
  padding: 15px;
    margin: 10px;
}

Just a little syntax error, I think. Try this:

.social-links { padding: 15 px; margin: 10px; }

I recreated your files and was able to get the correct response so I'm not sure why you are receiving the error. May I suggest you contact the instructor?

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

  </body>
</html>




.social-links {
    padding: 15px;
    margin: 10px;
}
