What's wrong with this code?

<footer> <a href: "https://www.instagram.com/nicolebldf/"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo"></a> <a href: "https://www.instagram.com/nicolebldf/"><img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook Logo"></a> <p>Ā© 2013 Nick Pettit.</p> </footer>

This is really annoying!

An attribute (href in your case) cannot be specified like 

href: "www.google.com"

Instead you need to set attributes like so 

href="www.google.com"
