In the CSS file, use the class to give both <a> tags 15px of padding and 10px of margin.

I need some help, please.

index.html 
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>List Example</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
  </head>
  <body>

    <a class="social-links" href="#">Follow me on Twitter!</a>
    <a class="social-links" href="#">Send me an Email!</a>

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
 .my-class  {

  margin:  10px;
  padding: 15px;

}

Hi Austin,

You need to add "my-class" to your <a> tags in the html. See how class="social-links" ? That means you're only adding the social links class to your links right now. You can add multiple classes to HTML elements by typing them in the quotation marks separated by a space. It should end up being, class="social-links my-class"

Hi Austin,

For this challenge they want you to target the class name from the <a> tags. In your CSS you’re targeting a class called .my-class, but try targeting the class name from the <a> tags you see in the HTML file. Good luck!
