If I'm not mistaken the challenge says to change the font-size of the unordered list with the class contact info to 0.9em and remove all padding, margins and styling. I'd do like this: 

  .contact-info {
  font-size: .9em;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0; }

Hope that helps Amanda!

:point_right: "square" is not a background-size value. To define a square, give the same same setting for both width and height. Here's an example:

       background-size: 20px 20px;

Also, while it's not causing an issue in this case, in general when a challenge gives you a partially complete CSS file, add your new rules to the bottom of the file. That way you won't risk a later rule overriding the one(s) you add.

Amanda, try this:

.contact-info{
  font-size: 0.9em;
  list-style-type: none;
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0px;
}

Also, I would recommend condensing your code, especially when writing css. Not all css properties apply to all html elements, so you don't have to get as specific as 

.contact-info a{
  /*some css*/
}

unless you ONLY want to select the link tags with the 'class-info' class. I would highly recommend re-watching the videos and checking out w3schools to help reinforce these concepts.
