Why is my padding wrong? I have entered 15px and it reads that I have not entered it.

Hey there Cameron,

This is one of those problems that makes you go, "DOH!!" after you realize the mistake! The solution is a simple one,

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

You forgot the semi-colons to close the properties! :D

Cheers, and Happy coding! :beers:
