It looks like have a copy/paste error! Review you're first anchor tag after "Follow me on twitter!"

Hi, you need to add the class to both anchor elements like this:

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

Your syntax was incorrect, you only defined the social-links class to the first anchor element, you also had two closing anchor tags on the first line.
