Hi,

To show code on the forum wrap it in three ` back tick marks. Three at the start and three at the end.

You can't access the picture via class because you defined the class incorrectly in your HTML.

Your code:

<img src="img/richard.jpg" alt:"photo of Richard " class:"pp">

Correct code:

<img src="img/richard.jpg" alt="photo of Richard" class="pp">

It's usually a good idea to try to make your classes descriptive of what they are defining. So in this case your class could be something like class="user-pic".
