Hi, I'm building the cupcake website and am unable to upload the images properly. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I put my work on CodePen http://cdpn.io/Fhnwt Thanks

Are you wanting to make it work locally? I don't know much about code pen but.... I looked at your code and you are linking images like so: src=" img/logo.gif" TRY src="./img/logo.gif" .

The ./ means go up (back) one directory most likely the folder with the index.

If you want to use images on codepen you have to link to images that are accessible on the Internet not images that exist on your local computer.

Simple solution just add http://http://smellslikebakin.com/ for all of your images, backgrounds & CSS files and it should work just fine on codepen.

If you are trying to develop it on your local computer take a look at the link Hayden posted as you mostly like have a path issue.
