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

In order to complete you have to grab the class ( <a class="This is what needs to be in the css">and then style it. REMEMBER to put a period before the class name in CSS (and a "#" for IDs.)

.nameOfClass {
padding: 15px;
margin: 10px;
}

a { padding: 15px; margin: 10px; }

The above will apply to all links in your site. (pre-pending with a full stop means it is a class, therefore you would have to add a class of "a" to each.
