When adding syntax:
<img src="img/LarryGonzales2.jpg" alt"">, and preview it on chrome, it won't show actual photo, but instead an image icon. I've made sure images is enabled in the browser settings, also double checked if folder is named correctly on both file, and syntax. I'm using atom as my text-editor.

18,204 PointsDepending on how your directory is structured you have to add ../ before img/LarryGonzales2.jpg. So it would look like this : <img src="../img/LarryGonzales2.jpg" alt="" />
Try it and see?

6,065 Pointsfixed syntax to:
<img src="img/LarryGonzales2.jpg" alt="">, didn't work with forward slash added to the end, or even adding the extra extension of folder(../img). The folder I added to atom is named img, and photo is named LarryGonzales2.jpg.
