Hey Jeff,

You're missing a curly brace on this line:

.contact-info { list-style: none; padding: 0; margin: 0; font-size: 0.9em;

Good luck!

Daniel,

Thank you so much. It's amazing that I look at the same line of code for several minutes and it's not even on the line.

Valuable lesson learned... when your css code starts cascading into coding abyss, look up for the answer :)

There's never any shame in looking anything up, but as you work with css and web development in general more, things will start to become natural. Happy that the solution worked out for you :D
