Really find it hard to see what I'm not doing for the icons to show up in the unordered list.

Hey Benjamin,

You're missing a slash after the initial .. part in each of your url values.

Give this code a shot instead:

.contact-info li.phone a {
  background-image: url('../img/phone.png');
}

.contact-info li.mail a {
  background-image: url('../img/mail.png');
}

.contact-info li.twitter a {
  background-image: url('../img/twitter.png');
}

Good luck with the course!
