Hello

You don't specify the type:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">

You forget "" on class

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

and you forget : on css

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

Looks like you´re missing the : after padding and margin

margin: 10px;
padding: 15px;

You're also missing quotes around the class names, "social-links." (y)
