I have everything just like Nick's but no image is showing up, just a dot showing that something is there. Any ideas?

But no image is showing up.

Can you copy and paste your code so we can take a look at it?

To copy/paste using code blocks, put ``` before and after your code. That will produce the following effect...

What we need to see is the location of your image file in relation to the html document.

It’s best to use a relative file path like this.

<img src=“image.png” />

<img src=“img/image.png” />

Remember to include the directory if needed. :)

Nick has it looking like this. <ul> <li> <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg"alt="">

Did you create a folder to put your images in? Is the folder titled "img"?

If you just dropped the images in the same folder as your index.html file, then your path is wrong. In that case you can simply use the following...

<img src="numbers-01.jpg" alt="">

Otherwise, check the video at the 2:20 mark and make sure you created a folder for your images and that you transferred your images there. Then, the <img> tag should work as you have it.
