HTML Introduction to HTML and CSS (2016) Make It Beautiful With CSS Adding a Style to several Elements using Class

I don't understand where to add "social-links.

Can someone help me figure out what the anchor tag is? I'm not sure how to add an extra class and add "social-links" into that class

index.html
<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>List Example</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css" >
  </head>
  <body>

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

  </body>
</html>
styles.css

The place that you have put the "social-links" value is in the href attribute, this is where the user will be directed to when the link is clicked on. To add a class to the anchor tags you need to add a class attribute inside the anchor tags opening tag with the class name (social-links in this case) in quotes next to the class attribute, like this:

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

ahh, that makes much more sense! Thank you!

Think of the '#' as a placeholder for a link. It won't link anywhere but it tell the code that it's a link.
