Hey Kyle,

You do have one error in that your alt attributes are missing an = before the quotes. But, this won't affect the picture showing or not.

The easiest way for us to see your file structure is for you to share a snapshot of your workspace. If you don't know how to do that, check out this handy dandy forum post :) http://www.teamtreehouse.com/forum/workspace-snapshots

Hey Kyle,

I can immediately see the problem. In your code for your page, you are referring to a folder named "img" in your image elements, but in your actual files you have a file named "Images" (note the capital I). You either have to right click on the folder and change the name of the folder to "img" or go through each image element and replace "img" with "Images".

Thank you for this answer -- I realized my images folder was titled Img and once I made the i lower case the images showed up.

The folder was named a completely different name, Nicole. "img" is not the same as "images".

I don't see anything wrong with your code. My suggestion would be to double check your file structure. Make sure you have a folder labeled img that is inside the folder containing your html page and that the images are inside that folder and correctly labeled.

Marcus Parsons,

I know, but reading your answer led me to check my work and correct my error so I was grateful.
