Yeah, maybe try downloading the images again. It's been a month or two since I've done this one, but I'm pretty sure they're in a zip file that needs to be extracted. Also, pay close attention to where those files are located. It seems to be a common mistake to overlook telling the browser where the files are. On the left side of the screen in workspaces there should be a down arrow with a folder next to "img", otherwise you may have accidentally put them thin the root directory. If so, there is two ways you can fix this. You can create a folder by right clicking on the file area and moving those files (click-hold and drag) to that folder, or change your <img src=""> by removing the sub-directory "img/".

You have to paste the code here for us to be able to see it. Your workspace is private :) Check the markdown cheatsheet at the bottom of this page to see how to add code properly.

Thanks Eivind, hope that helps

You might need to download the "img" folder. You also have and underscore at the beginning of your "numbers-01.jpg" file in your first anchor tag.

Wesley,

I believe i downloaded the img folder, the contents inside start with and underscore, like; "._numbers-01.jpg", so i had to test this out, but no success. You think i should download the folder and repeat the steps again?

For your src, try:

<img src="..img/filename.jpg">

And see if that helps. (Add two periods before the image folder name.)

I had download and upload the files again, i used winrar to unzip the folder i feel like it created an error and gave me file names that start with an underscore for some reason...problem solved now the files read same as in the tutorial, thanks guys
