Using the book

So I am following along making a website with the treehouse foundations HTML5 book. However there seems to be issues with workspaces so I used Codepen instead this worked better. But now I dont know how to insert images into codepen!

You should be able to link images into your CodePen file. You need to make any links to images and assets as absolute, not relative. It looks like linking images relatively just doesn't work in CodePen. **Absolute linking meaning that you need to write out the whole link to the image in the img src tag.

That's actually incorrect.

You can't use images unless they are accessible on the web. Since linking to images on the web is always absolute but not all absolute links are accessible on the web.
