SVG Backwards Compatibility

Great course. I noticed that you didn't really do any backwards compatibility. Is it safe enough to just use SVGs as images? On a real website, would you have a backup image? And if I want a backup image, any suggestions on the best way to do that? Nick Pettit

Hi Evan! SVGs are not supported in IE8 (still 8-10% of usage so it's an important one) and early versions of Android. There are some suggestions for fallbacks in this article.
