so i am curious, in the video you are using a Mac, and i am using a pc while i practice as i do not have a mac lying around. when you source your images you use img/imgae.gif or whatever image you are using. how would i source on a pc? for images, and would a similair principle apply when using a video, or gif?

Whether you use a PC or a Mac, this html convention is the same.
<img src="img/logo.gif" alt="Smells Like Bakin">
This html looks for your image source ('src') in the img folder and looks for an image named logo.gif. This is the same whether you are using a mac or a PC. Just make sure you have a folder created called 'img' otherwise the image won't load.
<img src="logo.gif" alt="Smells Like Bakin">
This would also work, but the logo.gif image would need to be located in the root, not in a folder named 'img'.
And yes, this works for any image file type (jpg, gif, png etc etc.)
For videos, especially if it is a YouTube video, I would recommend using YouTube's code that they provide you to display your video. There is a HTML5 tag for video, but it isn't compatible with all browsers, so can cause some issues.
Hope this helps, I can answer any other questions you have or if this hasn't answered your question just drop me a line.
