671 PointsHi! My social media icons don't change at all.
I've checked the other questions and found two mistakes which however I can't see in my code. But obviously something must be wrong. Just don't know what. Help! Thanks!!
html: <footer> <a href="http://www.videokueche.at"> <img src="img/facebook-wrap.png" alt="Facebook logo" class="social-icon"></a> <a href="http://www.videokueche.at"> <img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter logo" class="social-icon"> </a>
css: .social-icon { width: 20px; height: 20px; margin: 0 5px; }

6,677 PointsTo add on to Tom's comment, usually projects are structured with a CSS folder and an Images folder in the same level of the directory. Your stylesheet document is likely within the CSS folder while the images you're trying to use are within the images folder. To go up a level in the directory when using a relative URL path, add "../" to the beginning of your file path, then you can go into the "img" folder and grab your png.
As you have it written now, the images will only show up if you have an "img" folder in the same level of the directory as your stylesheet document.

671 PointsTom, Filip, thanks for your help. I'm afraid you misunderstood my question. Sorry for not being clearer. However I have since discovered that it seems to have been a "cache problem". When I emptied my cache everything was working.
