Before beginning these lessons, do I need to download source files so that my images show up etc.? I have now done this, but my images are still not appearing on my browser page, despite being in a folder on my desktop and included in my img tags as directed by the course.

Hey. Check index.html file must be in the same folder as the folder "image". For example: if "\user\Desctop\index.html" then \user\Desctop\img\"

Your images need to be in a folder called 'img'. This is because your code is looking for them there, for example: img/you-bake-me-blush.gif

Here's what the folder contents should look like:

index.html /img
