Treehouse TeacherJocelyn Nyaguse I think I found the issue! It's in your main.css.
Yours looks like this:
.contact-info a {
display: block; /* remove this line */
min-height: 20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 20px 20px;
padding: 0 0 0 30px;
margin: 0 0 10px;
}
Try this instead:
.contact-info a {
min-height: 20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 20px 20px;
padding: 0 0 0 30px;
margin: 0 0 10px;
}
Note the removal of the display of block from this portion. Don't forget to save and refresh and all that good stuff and give it a whirl!

575 PointsNow my html is being rejected by the validator. I have no idea what is wrong.Here is the link https://w.trhou.se/nthoble9lx

Treehouse TeacherJocelyn Nyaguse I'm assuming you mean the w3c HTML validator. And the problem seems to be that you're using a link to two separate google fonts on one line. This works and is fine, but it's what's causing the error. Here's the text directly from the w3c validation error:
Syntax of URL: Any URL. For example: /hello, #canvas, or http://example.org/. Characters should be represented in NFC and spaces should be escaped as %20. Common non-alphanumeric characters other than ! $ & ' ( ) * + - . / : ; = ? @ _ ~ generally must be percent-encoded. For example, the pipe character (|) must be encoded as %7C.
This means that for it to pass validation, you need to replace the pipe with %7C. Hope this helps!

13,335 PointsAs Jennifer mentioned, we can help you better if we can see your Workspace and/or code.
One thing to point out though is that any images should be included in your HTML rather than your CSS.
The HTML will look something like this:
<img src="url" alt="some_text">
Hope that helps! :-)

Treehouse TeacherIt's going to be easiest to troubleshoot this for you if we can see your workspace. Fortunately, workspaces has a feature designed for just this type of thing!
If you open your workspace you'll see a camera icon on the upper right hand side. Click that then click create a snapshot. Once it's made click on it to follow the link. Copy and paste the URL here so we can help you further
