im using Atom instead of workspace. how do i get these images to render. I figured it out with the gallery but cant figure it out with this step. (you cant upload images to Atom because its just a text editor.)

When you are using your own text editor, you have to tell the text editor where to find the image. You can do this by typing in the path on your computer to find the images. For example, when you type an image tag, you would have to do something like this:
<img src="some-folder/the-image-you-want-to-put-in.png>"
If you have anymore questions, feel free to reply!

1,330 PointsHey Tyler, thank you for your response! so the line i'm trying to put the image in is background-image. Rather than just trying to render the image period. I know if the image was online I could use background-image: url(../blahblah.png) but I don't have the image on a hosting site. is there a way to use my local image with background image, I know this wouldn't be the ideal way to do it because on a live site the photo wouldn't render.
