Where it says <img src> make sure that the folder you made on the left hand side is the same case, and spelled the same.

For instance, if you named your folder on the sidebar "image", you should have written <image src>. To make the rest of this course smooth, make sure your folder is named "img".

make sure it's the right directory for example if you're in the INDEX.html you'd do <img src="/img/mypic.jpg">

if you're in CSS you'd do <img src="../img/mypic.jpg>

the dot dot slash are to escape your current folder and go withing the img folder.

I don't really know what you mean by name of image file but I got the pictures from my computer and each pic is called "ipod pics" followed by a number. "ipod pics 072. jpg" for example.

so if the image is on your desktop then your code should be -- <img src="ipodpics072.jpg"> , i would change the file name of your images with no spaces. Once again this code is if your image is located on your desktop
