I want to use my own images, but they do not appear in the site preview. Sizing might be off?

These are pictures I uploaded to my Mac from my iphone. I was able to put them in the image folder and when I write the image tag it seems fine. The little default picture appears in the preview instead of the actual picture. I think my code is right but maybe the sizing is off? Or maybe I've forgotten something? I'd love any suggestions.

It would be best if you can post your code here :).

Though, you can check if you had a typographical error or the directory that you specify on the src might be missing something :)

Hope that helps.

I would double check the image path. I had the same problem because I named my image folder different than the tutorial. If the path to your image is off by even a little it won't show up on your site. I would save and put your image directly into the img folder and then try it!

Good luck!
