Why is this wrong?

Bummer! Are you setting a path that goes one level out of the current folder and inside a folder named 'img'? Why is this wrong, why the bummer message

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Portfolio Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <img src="logo.png" alt="Site logo">
    <ul>
      <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="/">Portfolio</a></li>                
    </ul>
    <h1 id="portfolio">My Portfolio</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Hi. When setting the source of an image, you have to make sure you target the right folders. So in this case, your html file is one folder and the image is another one. In that case, the .. tells the html file the image is out of its folder and then the /img tells it to go into the img folder for the image logo.png.

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Portfolio Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <img src="../img/logo.png" alt="Site logo">
    <ul>
      <li><a href="">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="">Portfolio</a></li>                
    </ul>
    <h1 id="portfolio">My Portfolio</h1>
  </body>
</html>
