1,682 PointsQuestion about importing images
I am having trouble getting the pictures from the cupcake tutorial to show up on my browser page. I downloaded the pictures and am pretty sure I have it coded properly, and the browser is showing a place where there should be an image. But I can't figure out how to make the chrome browser show my pictures. Anyone have any thoughts on what I am doing incorrect?

You might have to look in Sublime Text and figure out where you're saving the the index.html file that you are writing. When you figure that out, drag and drop the img file folder to the same folder as your html file.
