how to create a thumbnail image link?

I am currently setting up my online portfolio and am doing the same thing that i saw in a previous course and what are supposed to be small thumbnail images, shows as full size images.

here is the html from the course

          <ul id="gallery">
            <li>
              <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
                <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
                <p>Experimentation with color and texture.</p>
              </a>
            </li>

I did the exact same thing and am not getting a thumbnail. thanks!

Chances are that the course you were doing also had a css file which you don't have connected to your portfolio. Do you have any css set up for your portfolio?

This will be due to a CSS issue, I am assuming you might have forgot to put that in your code.

I would advise now to try and build your own from scratch, using resources from what you have learned in the previous course.

For example, you can target the image like: #gallery li img{ width:100%;height:100%; }.
