The typed section of the code is close but the class you are assigning to the anchor tags is not the same as what the challenge is asking you to add.

Read back over the challenge taking note of what is in parenthesis and then double check what you are adding for class names.

If that isn't enough to help you figure it out see the code example below:

<!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>
