Hi Ali,

You don't need ul. Also, the code challenge states: Then, remove all margin, padding, and list styling.

Why is selecting ul not needed? In the video, he seems to be adamant about going through and selecting all of those properties in that way. Just curious for future projects.

If I remember correctly, there is no need to include the ul in the selector.

Try using .contact-info (font-size: 0.9em;)

I tried the following code which was accepted. 

.contact-info {
  font-size: 0.9em;  
  list-style: none;
  margin:0;
  padding: 0;
}

Why is adding ul not a requirement?
