There's... no code. If you post it, I'll try my best to help.

To correctly display code inside the forums make sure to indent your sentence with 4 spaces (or a single tab) to turn it into a code block. If the code is multiline every line should be indented as well.

I would create a new folder on your desktop, save all your stuff into there. Makes it much more organised and easier to navigate.

the first thing you want to do is put all the pictures you want to use into the same folder your index.html file is in so it can be relevant, then shorten the file path to just the picture name and file type (in your case "logo.jpg").

Hope this helps!

I'd take Jack and Elliott's advice on that. Also, you shouldn't use inline CSS. It's terrible practice.

There's three parts to a website: Structure, presentation and behavior. You should always keep these separated by linking to the documents. (HTML, CSS and Javascript/JQuery; respectively.)
