Logo Image

My logo image isn't coming up. Is that because it first has to be downloaded to my computer?

make sure you have the "project files" downloaded. it should be shown on the right side of the screen during a video.

Hi Austin. Thanks for your reply. Actually, I downloaded the project files and am able to identify the the file on my computer but for some reason it won't come up on the web site we're constructing. I double checked the command in the text editor and it is identical to the one shown in the tutorial. Any other suggestions?

Actually, these happen to me once. Is it happening to all your images or just to logo image? If it's happening to all your images in server it could be some kind of permission. If you're trying in a local storage web (like double click on web to open it on chrome) the relative url from the image will not work. Some of these is your case?

It seems to be happening to all of the images. What you described may well be the case, though I am so technically unsavvy I don't fully understand what is meant by "local storage web."

I'm sorry. I mean your pc files by local storage. Are you seeing the web like opening the html file with chrome? or are you using some kind of local server?

I'm using Chrome. Could it have anything to do with where the files are stored on my computer? Here is the link...

Jason, if you're gonna develop like that, to see the images you will need to have them in your computer and to be sure that the url directions of those images exist in your computer too. I personally use a local server to develop in web. I've bee using mamp for a while. So it simulates a server on the web. Maybe later you could give it a chance.

Thanks. I'll look into that. I simply followed the instructions stated in the video tutorials, so I'm confused as to why the images aren't appearing. I have already downloaded the image folder, so perhaps it has something to do with the url directions, as you mentioned. Thanks again.
