You're missing the unit when you set the padding value. Should be 15px.

heres my try: ```<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>List Example</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css"> </head> <body>

<a class="social-links" href="https://twitter.com">Follow me on Twitter!</a>
<a class="social-linksb" href="https://hotmail.com/diegojrpvp@outlook.com">Send me an Email!</a>

</body> </html>``` result: i don't know what is wrong there. my guess is utf-8. but that don't even seem right to me.

here's the rest: .social-links { padding: 15; margin: 10px; } result: nothing either for the css, but what im confused on is these mystery images of yours. other than that lets see what the other people say.

You are also missing the "px" after 15. 

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

In your html, you've misspelt the social-links class as well.

This isn't part of the challenge but when you're linking to an email address, you don't put the url for the website before your email address. It should be:

<a class="social-links" href="mailto:yourname@email.com">Send me an Email!</a>
