Alright so here's my code: <img src="img/logo.gif" alt="Smells Like Bakin">

It is working in a separate web editor, but when I use within the interface of the challenge it says the image path isn't correct and displays a broken image.

What am I doing wrong?

@Joyia - We can't see your code.

Remember to indent each line of code by 4 spaces so it is properly formatted by the forum.

Oh sorry but I think I see what I did wrong. Instead of putting cupcake.jpg, I did what was done in the tutorial vid and put logo.gif.

Thanks for responding James.

For some reason, putting the code in its correct formatting makes it invisible in the forum.

@Joyia - There's actually 2 ways to format code for so it the forum formats it properly. You can use 3 backticks on their own line on each side of the code. The backtick is on the key to the left of the one key on the keyboard.

Example:

<img src="cupcake.jpg" alt="cupcake">

Got it! Thanks James.

@Joyia - My advice is don't follow the videos too closely. They are meant descriptive not prescriptive.

Don't get tripped up by variable names and other stuff that differs between the videos and the code challenges, they aren't meant to match perfectly.
