857 PointsUnder DOCTYPE in the html header there was <html lang="en">, what is this?
also in the image line there is 'src' and 'alt', I imagine alt is alternate but what does src stand for?

The src attribute on an image specifies where the image is located, a link to your image location.

If your HTML Code was in your Documents file and your image was in your Documents file as well, then your src would be src="imageName"
