I'm trying to resize the social media icons on the footer and it's not working.

I'm having a similar problem as this fella https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/im-trying-to-resize-the-social-media-icons-on-the-footer-and-its-not-working-they-look-the-same-after-reloading but he figured it out and i havent yet.

hey Red Burke , you have a small issue in your html syntax that is causing this problem. you're using:

class : "social-icon"

while it should be 

class="social-icon"

if you change this in your code the 2 icons should show up just fine. hope that helps and have a nice day ;)
