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

I've tried setting the padding and margin in the way it was described in the video but it keeps coming up wrong. I'm not sure what I keep missing.

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 
.social-links { 
  padding= 15px;



}

You need to use a colon rather than an equals sign after the padding property.

.social-links { 
  padding: 15px;
}
