Hi There, I'm following closely along with the Ruby track, and we're currently on the video learning how to code. I'm using Text Wrangler as my editor. I've copied precisely what Nick typed in the body, and when I save then refresh, the logo image doesn't shop up. The text Smells Like Bakin' appears, but no logo. I'm wondering what I've done wrong. I did download the project files. I'm wondering if I need to save them in a specific way? Thank you for your assistance! Candice
UPDATEI figured the problem out right after saving. oops. Thanks for the responses!

For example, if your image code is ''' <img src="logo.gif" alt="logo"> ''' then your gif file must be saved in the same folder as your index.html file. If your image code is ''' <img src="images/logo.gif" alt="logo"> ''' then your gif file must be saved in a sub folder named "images" and that "images" folder must be saved in the same main folder as your index.html

Would you be able to paste your html code in so we can have a look please?
<img src="logo.gif" alt="Smells Like Bakin'">
<img src="img/logo.gif" alt="Smells Like Bakin'">
These are probably the most common
Just double check that your src="" is the links to the folder that your logo gif is in
Hope this helps, show us your code and I will be able to help more.
Also let us know which folder your logo is in

4,246 PointsLike John said, if your logo.gif file is stored in a folder (it should be in a folder called 'img' if you downloaded the Project Files), then you'll have to tell the source where the .gif is located. For example:
<img src="img/logo.gif" alt="Smells Like Bakin'" width="[insert specified width here]" height="[insert specified height here]">
