- Make sure the file is actually in the folder specified.
- Try refreshing the page.
- Clear the browser cache and see if that helps.

983 PointsOkay everything is all fixed. I know i'm a complete newbie but I have to start somewhere. lol I was frustrated with seeing the broken images but i found out i wasn't referencing the path correctly.
retyped as: <ul> <li> <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"> <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg" alt=""> </a> </li>
Thanks guys. :)

99% of the time you have broken images, something is wrong with either the path to the image file or you screwed something up in the img tag.
Some common problems I've run across are forgetting a space between img and src, forgetting one of the quotes around the path to the image file, forgetting to include the subfolder in the path, or simply pelling something wrong in the image file path.

Courses Plus Student 18,830 PointsHi there! I'd review this video https://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-make-a-website/creating-html-content/structure-the-image-gallery . Are your images within an img folder? If so make sure you are using the correct path to your images within your img src="" .
