Hi John,

When you drsagged your image into a your text editor, did it go into a particular folder?

<img src="img/image.jpg" alt="img">

If it has you'll need to specify that directory. Look for the image in your project folder.

If you're linking an image that's in a different file path to your html file you can get it by adding 2 dots and a forward slash, like this 

<img src="../img/image.jpg" alt="img">

Its not in any folder.
I created a folder but it won't allow my to put anything into it I've tried everything I can think of specifying all kinds of paths I want to take my head and put it threw my computer

It should work the same way in brackets if you type the code as you would in Brackets or any other text editor. Just remember image paths in HTML dociments are relative the location of the containing file.
