So I tried to implement my facebook and twitter handle into this code and it says page not found. code looks right.

my code looks correct and when i inspect element and ask the computer what exactly is going on it says cannot find file in admin/desktop/ etc... i am trying to figure out why it is asking for the site relative to my desktop and admin files as it should just connect externally, right? no idea how to fix this can anyone give me any advice?

As Paul said, it would be very helpful if you included your code. Here's a great post on how to place code on the forum: https://teamtreehouse.com/forum/posting-code-to-the-forum

Your URLs seems to have periods in it at the beginning. Try http:// instead.

Hey Kyle. It would be helpful if you included the code snippets you are having a problem with. Makes it easier for us to help you to troubleshoot the issue.

sure no problem, Let it also be known that I am using sublime text editor and I have a file on my computer for the project where the index.html and img/ folder is.

here is the section snippet of my code: 

 </section>
      <footer>
        <a href="http.//twitter.com/secretkdd"> <img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="twitter logo"> </a>
        <a href="http.//facebook.com/kyle.david.10"> <img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="facebook logo"> </a>
        <p>&copy; 2014 Kyle Donlan</p>
      </footer>

i double checked it a couple times and the links do go to a new web page just says as follows:

No webpage was found for the web address: file:///Users/admin/Desktop/Website%20learning/http.//twitter.com/secretkdd

hope this helps at all. thanks for the quick response!
