340 PointsSmells Like Bakin Logo wont show!
I just started the HTML section and when i wrote in the code for the Smells Like Bakin logo (<img src="img/logo.gif" alt="Smells Like Bakin">) it just showed a corrupt picture or something on the web page. I have a windows computer running windows 7. Not sure how to fix my problem. I just want my logo to appear! Please help!

<img src="img/logo.gif" alt="Smells Like Bakin">

20,704 Pointscan you please paste the code you used.
Giovanni CELESTE
20,961 PointsHi Jim Steer Steer,
As Ross King and Felipe Granja mentionned, it is a good behaviour to paste your code when you are stuck. Without the code, it is complicated to see what you did, and give you helpful hints for resolving your problem.
And be patient, glory is on the end of the road! :)

340 PointsI did but it didn't show up for some reason. I'm away from the computer now. It was identical to when he posted above. I think my computer won't load the picture properly.
Giovanni CELESTE
20,961 PointsI don't think so :). Treehouse is all about the browser, your computer has nothing to do with that. And what you think you did and what you really did, sometimes it can be different (it's not rare to forget a bracket or a semi-colon). That's why we need what you did exactly to check it up :).

Giovanni CELESTE - That maybe my favorite quote from the forum.
Giovanni CELESTE
20,961 PointsHaha, thanks :)
Jim Steer
340 PointsAlright. I'll have to post it tomorrow
Giovanni CELESTE
20,961 PointsThanks :)
Jim Steer
340 PointsHere it is <img src="img/logo.gif" alt="Smells Like Bakin">
Giovanni CELESTE
20,961 PointsDon't see anything. Well...don't know what to say, how did you copy/paste your code? (what is your manipulation?)
James Barnett

4,824 PointsDid you download the project files? They are here: http://bit.ly/1lInUee . Make sure to place the img folder in the same directory as the index.html file.

340 PointsI am extremely confused what's being asked of me right now :P
Giovanni CELESTE
20,961 PointsI try to figure out how your posts are displayed. And what I wrote displayed differently from what I wanted :P. I start again: Write those:
<p>Hello World</p>- ```<p>Hello World</p> ```
- wrap it with ```html <p>Hello World</p> ```
Well, don't know if it will be displayed correctly.
Giovanni CELESTE
20,961 Points\`\`\` \<p\>Hello World \<\/p\> \`\`\`

20,961 Points``` <p>Hello World <\/p> ```

340 PointsI don't know what wrap it means. All my images look like they just won't load now. I don't think it's a problem with coding.
Tyler McNally
1,560 PointsMake sure that you press enter after the code fencing (which is the ``` marks) so that the actual code is on the line below the code fencing.
The ``` marks were one line above and below the code shown below:
<h1>here is my code</h1>
Hopefully I did this right....I did it as an exercise to help myself get used to posting code in the forums haha. Hopefully I did it right and now you can post your code so that these fine folks can help you out with your original problem!
