Problem with image loading in Google Chrome from Sublime 2 (Module "Text Editors & HTML)

Hi!

Exactly as the topic suggests, I'm having an issue with my images showing up in Google Chrome after saving my index.html and refreshing the page. I made a folder on my desktop named "img," downloaded a random .gif of a cupcake, named it logo, but when I reference the file path, it fails to load the image onto the web page.

Am I doing something wrong?

For some reason i can't get a code box to show on this post, but my line appears like this "img src="img/logo.gif" alt="Smells Like Bakin"," withholding the <> and extra quotations.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Andrew and Adam,

Where on your computer is your index.html file saved?

My index.html is saved in the same folder as the logo.gif file. To be more specific, C:/Users/Andrew/Desktop/img/logo.gif .

Don't worry about mine. So as to not confuse things I'll just follow what you tell Andrew. Thanks!

This was what I had at the end of the lesson. I never did figure out how to make the images appear once the html file was loaded into the Google Chrome browser. Apparently, I don't know how to make a code box with these forums so my my html snippet has been truncated.
