Hi Niger,

First things first. Please check to make sure you spelled the name of the file correctly. Also, did you add the images into a folder called "img" in workspaces?

If you remove the "img/" from the <img> tag, save, and refresh, does the image show? That would indicate you have the images stored in the same directly.

Review the video http://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-make-a-website/creating-html-content/structure-the-image-gallery to learn about creating the img folder.

Hi Niger,

Make sure your image folder is called img

Hope this helps.

Have you linked the image correctly? That's the only thing i could possibly see wrong with it...
