Social-links

Hello, how do I add a social icon to the link to the social web page? This is what I have so far. do I put the "img src" inside the <li> attribute, if so how?

<li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?geoId=&keywords=&location=" class="social linkedin">LinkedIn</a></li> <img src="https://img.icons8.com/doodle/48/000000/linkedin-circled.png">

You probably want to put the img inside the "a" tag, next to the word "LinkedIn".

If that's not the whole story, please provide a link to the course page you are working with.

Hello, here's the link to the page I'm working on file:///C:/Users/qasim/Desktop/Techdegree%20Profile%20V2/Techdegree%20Profile%20New/Experience.html and I just put the "img" tag inside the "a" tag and I it still shows the error. The LinkedIn icon shows but you can't click on it to open up the link.

That URL is for a file on your machine, it's not a link reachable from the internet. But when I put the image inside the <a> element, clicking on it works. Does your edited code look like this?

  <li>
    <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/search/?geoId=&keywords=&location=" class="social linkedin">
      <img src="https://img.icons8.com/doodle/48/000000/linkedin-circled.png"> LinkedIn</a>
  </li>
