The icon .png files don't seem to be formatting to my css declarations. Confused.

When I went to add the icons for the phone, email, and twitter .png files and added css declarations to it it only cut off the pictures more. The icons are cut in half.

Before seeing the code, I would say set the width of the images to 100%. Can you share your code? :)

Yes. Is there a way to share my code that I don't know about?

Lol. Nope. On the workspaces there is a 'help' section. Moe info on sharing it should be there :)

Hey Jacob,

It's just a simple typo you have in your background-size declaration. You have a space between 20 and px.

.contact-info a {
  display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size: 20px 20px;            /* removed space on second 20px. */
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
  margin: 0 0 10px;

Keep Coding! :)
