padding

In the CSS file, use the class to give both <a> tags 15px of padding and 10px of margin. Bummer! You need to set the padding for .social-links elements to 15px.

{ padding: 15px; margin: 10px: } what went wrong with this?

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

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

  </body>
</html>
styles.css 
a href .social-links {
              padding: 15px;
              margin: 10px;
}

This question seems to be a duplicate of this other question.

Perhaps you should delete this one.

Since this one has already been answered, here's what I said on the other one:

You have some stray HTML code in your CSS file.

That "a href" should not be there.

When the instructions say "use the class", I think they intend for you to use only the class.

You do not need href in your css.

a .social-links { padding: 15px; margin: 10px; }
