Hi! I believe you made a typo in the code. It should look like this:

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>List Example</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
  </head>
  <body>

    <p class="theClassForParagraph"> <a href="#" class="theClassForLink">Follow me on Twitter!</a> </p>
    <a href="#" class="theClassForLink">Send me an Email!</a>

  </body>
</html>
