Iconography only displays two of the three images.

The bacground icons for the contact page are not functioning for me. My page will show the twitter and the phone images, ,but not the mail. I have deleted and uploaded the image again to my files but it still doesn't work.

Hi there Michelle.

I fixed up your forum code for your to make the code clearer. Checkout the markdown cheatsheet for adding code to the forums, that'll help you posting code to the forums if you're not using Workspaces snapshots. :-)

I think I found your problem.

In your CSS you're trying to find an list item element with the class of mail but the class you want is email. :-)

 .contact-info li.email a {
  background-image:url('../IMG/envelope.png');

Hope this helps. :)

Hi guys, I'm having the same problem, but I'm missing the Twitter image. Mail and phone images are both displayed, just the twtitter image isn't. Help please?

I fixed my own problem lol Just by adding a capital T for Twitter. Reloaded the page and that worked.
