How to remove the blue line under text.

I am trying to remove the blue line under under the social icons. I find if I put the </a> before the <li> the line disappears but then the link does not work as I did in the first social icon on line 3 in the HTML code. I have tried text-decoration: none but that does not work either. What should I change to my code so the links work and the blue line also disappears. I have attached my code below http://codepen.io/Johned22/pen/KgxpxQ Thanks in advance

Putting your html through a code validator says you're missing doctype, html tags, and have unclosed tags somewhere.

Hi! Yes, your code put through a validator will result in missing doctypes etc. However, this is because codepen inserts those for you so they aren't showing in the code here.

However, I fixed one of your snippets. The problem was you were ending the anchor tag before the ending of the list item. Take a look:

<a href="https://pin.it/zWgxyjg" target="_blank">
    <li>
      <div class='entypo-pinterest'></div>
    </li>
</a>

I'm sure you can figure out how to fix the other one from this. Good luck! :sparkles:
