Edwin,

This is a simple syntax error. You're missing the closing quotation marks at the end of both of your hrefs.

You have:

<a href="http://www.facebook.com/chau.edwin><img...></a>
<a href="http://www.twitter.com/chau.edwin><img...></a>

After the chau.edwin of both links, you're missing the quotation mark. You need to close the quotation marks around the value for your href attributes, like this:

<a href="http://www.facebook.com/chau.edwin"><img...></a>
<a href="http://www.twitter.com/chau.edwin"><img...></a>

Otherwise, you're good to go!

Erik
