thanks for your answer, I cant believe i made such a stupid mistake. i guess that's how it is being the second day of html. The funny thing is the image says JPEG but jpg is what worked

Hello, Jovonne. You just need to remove the space to make it <img src="shinee-color.jpeg">. You don't need the dash but it makes it more readable. HTML doesn't allow you to have spaces in file names.

Make sure the image is in the same directory as the HTML file. That's the only other thing that could cause it not to show.

Hi Jovonne! Where do you have your image stored? I think your problem could be related with where you have your files saved. The way you have it in your code, your html file should be saved at the same level, not in any folder.

thanks for your answer, but they are both in the same folder.

I am not sure if this would make a difference but you should change your doctype element to <!DOCTYPE html> you don't have it capitalized on your example.
