Adding an attribute of any kind (including a class) involves putting the attribute name, and equal-sign, and the value to give it inside the beginning tag. Example:

    <a href="#" class="social-links">Follow me on Twitter!</a>

In future always start a fresh question instead of posting one as an "answer" to another question!

But you need a space between the value of one attribute and the name of the next attribute.
