In the CSS file, use the class to give both <a> tags 15px of padding and 10px of margin.

What did I do wrong ?

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

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

  </body>
</html>
styles.css
.social-links{} class ;
.social-links { 
  padding: 15px ; 
  margin: 10px ;
}

Hi Duaa

You've done it right in your second class.

You do not need the first class selector

when they mention css class sector, they are just referring to the name of the class itself, in this case .social-links.

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

I would recommend reviewing the videos that you just watched as this is fairly important to fully understand how to style a website
