In this video how would I get the icons to appear on the end of the links and not at the front?

My suggestion would be to try combining it with an "after"pseudo element.

So you'd have something like this syntax

 *attributematchingselector*::after {}

how you write that in comlplete code cause I try adding ::after and it won't work

a[href$=".pdf"]::after { background-image: url('../img/icn-pdf.svg'); }

Actually, an easier way to do this would be to set the "background-position" property to "right".

Then, you'll need to put the padding on the right instead of the left, and you should be set!
