i have been trying to add the twitter logo but it is not allowing me to. i have checked and double checked the coding.

i used the exact coding the instructor uses and it still has not worked.

Too post code you need to use the markdown info. There is a link below the message box, "Markdown Cheatsheet" it will tell you how to post code.

Hi,

<img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="twitter logo">

Based on your code above everything looks correct.

A few things to check would be:

  • You have an image named twitter-wrap.png within your img folder and not in another location.
  • The case of your image name is correct. If the folder is named IMG instead of img as you've specified it may not show.
  • Any typos or missing letters.
  • The image is a png as specified.

Hopefully one of those will help :)

If none of the above have worked I'm a little unsure then. You could try holding Ctrl + F5 to clear the cache on refresh. If that doesn't work can you post the rest of your code please?

the markdown cheatsheet doesnt cover how to copy and paste, i tried using the keyboard shortcuts and the edit drop down menu, i cannot copy the rest of my codes.

Ctrl + C will copy and Ctrl + V will paste (replace Ctrl with Cmd if using a Mac)

yeah, i tried that. but something strange is happening. it isn't showing any of the codes i put it. i tried inserting a different image and it wouldnt allow it. i also deleted a line of coding for a prior image and tried to replace it. it doesnt show up. i am not sure if it is a browser issue or something else at this point because the coding seems legit.
