needs two numbers if you are specifying both the width and height. With only one the height is presumed to be auto
. MDN docs (You also give 4 values after padding-left
as if it were padding
instead.) Using either ul.contact-info
or .contact-info
both work for the challenge.
ul.contact-info a {
display: block;
min-height: 20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
padding: 0 30px, 0 0;
background-size: 20px 20px;
}

2,668 PointsI believe it is because you don't have a background explicitly stated for ".contact-info a".
State the background as,
background: url()
for an image, or
background: #FFF
for the color
You probably already know the latter, but knowing to explicitly state it should help.
