Pictures do not show up when previewing website.

I am in the beginning stages of how to make a website and my pictures do not show up when I hit the preview button and my webpage comes up. Is there something wrong with my code?

Also make sure that if it is a jpeg file it is jpg and png for png.

After checking to see if i had the right ending i realized i was referencing from folder img like Nick did in the tutorial when i accidentally named the folder pics. I changed the code and it works now.

Thanks for your help

For me I was working on the project from two different computers, once I got on my home machine and refreshed the page, the picture populated. My home computer has the img folder.
