19,870 PointsYou should probably review the process of creating css rules, along with the terms - html elements and attributes (including class).
Your rule:
a href.social-links {
padding= 15px; margin= 10px;
}
is attempting to set the padding and margin to 'href' elements (which is an attribute not an element) with the class of social-links and is also a descendant of an anchor element 'a'.
Based on your html and the challenge all you really need to specify is the class.
