I have saved everything into a folder on my desktop. When i started the images were in a different folder, i tried putting everything in one folder to solve the prob but it does not seem to have worked. Please help

The 2 most common mistakes when images are not showing up are a typo with the file names or using the wrong file path.

So triple check that you are using the exact name of the image files in your HTML, if that doesn't resolve the issue, check the file paths.

Here's a quick primer on file paths that should get you going.

Let us know how you are getting along with this here in this thread.

I'm having a difficult time understanding file paths. Do you have any other resources or tutorials. My main difficulty is getting images to show up in my web pages. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The problem has to be in the src attribute of the image tag. Make sure, again, that you have the right filename, and folder, ok?
