Python Development Techdegree Student 8,747 PointsPlaceimg random image
In the training video, when Treasure refreshes the page - it loads a new image every time. However, when I refresh the page, the image stays consistent and their is no randomization.
Is this because of the browser I'm using or is this something that I'm doing wrong when I'm inserting the code?
Code for the header is below -
<header> <img src="https://placeimg.com/400/400/people" alt="Drawing of Jane Smith" class="profile-image"> <h1 class="tag name">Hello, Iām Zane.</h1> <p class="tag location">My home is New York, New York.</p> </header>
Thanks in advance!

Most likely, your browser is trying to be efficient by caching the image. Try doing a no-cache reload if your browser has that function (most do).
You can also use a bit of JavaScript to change the URL each time to prevent the cached copy from being used:
document.querySelector("img").src += "?nocache=" + Math.random();
Note that this particular script only targets the first image on the page.
