The highlighting starts after the twitter link. Specifically i think something is wrong with the coed at

" <li class="twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_name="nickrp">@nickrp</a></li>"

You have an extra " in your link. The quotes should surround your link. Your code on the link should look like this: 

<li class="twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_name=nickrp">@nickrp</a></li>

Also, in the footer, there should not be a space after the = when assigning a class. Should be: 

class="social-icon"

You've got a quote in the twitter link on this line that's messing with things:

<li class="twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_name="nickrp">@nickrp</a></li>

Having your screen name in quotes is breaking the flow of the quotations normally.

Hi Red,

Noticed a few things that may be causing it.

  • As Nichole mentions you have an extra quote here:
            <li class="twitter"><a href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_name="nickrp">@nickrp</a></li>
  • You have an extra closing anchor tag here:
<footer>
        <a href="http://twitter.com/nickrp"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo" class= "social-icon">
      </a><!-- This is correct -->

        </a><!-- This one doesn't look to have an opening tag -->
  • You have an extra space before the class name on this line:
        <a href="http://twitter.com/nickrp"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo" class= "social-icon">

Hope that helps in some way :)
