Adding Images

I can't put pictures into my simple website. My coding is the exact same as teachers. Can someone please list out the steps in detail on how to add pictures into the simple website?

Hi Jack, I just encountered the same problem this afternoon. Try saving your images folder and your .html file in the same folder.

As your website grows you'll want to organize your images, CSS & HTML into separate folders. Here's a tutorial where you can read more about how to organize your files

The 2 most common mistakes when images are not showing up are a typo with the file names or using the wrong file path, so triple check the file name and path.

Here's a tutorial on file paths that should get you going.

Let us know how you are getting along with this here in this thread.

Im having the same problem as the person that posted this original thread. I believe my images aren't showing up due to incorrect file path. Your link for tutorial doesn't seem to be working. Do you know where else I could find this info?
