I'm having problems styling the social icons in the footer

I'm working a portfolio site as a Zipline from FreeCodeCamp and following along this course. The only difference is I'm going to build the portfolio in one page

Here's a snapshot of my workspace:

For some reason the class .social-icon doesn't seem to be styling the icons in the footer. Can someone please help with this issue?

Hi Edward, You are about to resize the facebook and twitter icon image so, you have to add the class parameter to <img> tag not to <a> tag.pls try the following code <footer id="contact"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com" alt="Facebook link" > <img src="Images/FB icon.png" alt="Facebook Logo" class="social-icon"> </a> <a href="http://www.freecodecamp.com/edward-hong" alt="Free Code Camp link"> <img src="Images/FCC icon.png" alt="Free Code Camp Logo" class="social-icon"> </a> <p>Ā© 2016 Edward Hong</p> </footer>
