Hi Cory

From your code you haven't closed .contact-info li.phone a and .contact-info li.mail a with a "}".

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

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

thanks so much! it's crazy how simple some of the mistakes can be
