7,685 PointsSocial icons not displaying
Could you take a look at this personal web site that I'm building and tell me what might be wrong with the code.

The social icons are licence free, (although they will receive a tag crediting the creator) and they display when I preview my code from the desktop, but not on the loaded site.
Please help,
Cheers,
Jon

When images are not showing it be down to one of a number of things,
- Incorrect file path
- Misspelled file name
- The images files are in another folder
- The images are not on the server at all.
If they're showing on your local hard drive but not on your server it could be that you still need to add the files to the server. :-)

7,685 PointsHi Jonathan,
The problem was related to file path. I had put the icons in a separate file named icons, when I transferred them to the existing images file and corrected the file path in HTML they showed up. Thanks for your help in this matter.
