'Introduction to My First Web Page' uploading image doesn't work

I'm on the 'Introduction to My First Web Page' video and am following step by step except when i put my image in the tag (the exact same way as in the video) it does not work/doesn't show up in the preview. Does the image have to be a certain size? Or am I just making a stupid mistake.

Could you post your code so we can try to see what is going on?

The image shouldn't need to have a size to work, in fact it will work regardless of dimensions entered so long as the tag itself is correct, and the path to the file is the correct path. Could you post the code that you are using here so that we can take a further look and determine what the issue is? Usually these types of problems are a matter of an extra or missing slash for the file path or even a mistyped filename.

You must just go to File, Upload File and it will bring up a window for you to choose which file you would like to upload.
