933 PointsHello, I am trying to create an image tag and providing an image source but I keep getting an error.
I am getting an error that the image source is incorrect, even though that is not the case. I have specified a correct image source.

Treehouse Project ReviewerOn your first image, you are forgetting a ". Should be:
<a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"></a>
<img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">

Treehouse Project ReviewerLisa Sparks , the image tag is what allows you to put an image in your html. It looks like this
<img src="http://lorempixel.com/200/200" alt="Random pic from LoremPixel">
The src attribute is the source of the picture and the alt attribute is a description of the image.
