I've downloaded the zip file for "Smells Like Bacon" and extracted the files, but they won't display when I code for them. What could I have possibly done wrong? I'm using a laptop running Windows 7. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

The way it works is that you have to put your images in the correct folder relative, to your HTML file.

Did you set a development environment? Have you a WAMP or XAMP running?

6,529 PointsGuys,
Thanks for the info. Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. Had to close last night and open this today at my "real" job. I will try this.
Thanks again
