Technical Issue With a code challenge

The practice screen keeps telling me that that my social media images are no longer passing after I add in the social links around the images. This is what I'm entering, so my question is am I doing something wrong or is this an error with the tool? Thanks.

You are missing the ending quotes of the anchor tag.

so your code should look like :

<footer>
  <a href="http://twitter.com"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo"></a>
    <a href="http://facebook.com"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook Logo"></a>

Hope that helps.

you are not closing the href attribute you need to close the quotes ""

<footer>
  <a href="http://twitter.com"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo"></a>
    <a href="http://facebook.com"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook Logo"></a>

You need to close the link in the href with quotes on both sides.

If you look closely at the syntax highlighting of the code you posted on the form you'll notice the src attribute is highlighted, that's because something is amiss with it. Syntax highlighting is a great aid in troubleshooting misplaced punctation while coding.
