179 PointsIn my workspace, my code is an exact match to the instructor's, yet when I preview it my page shows nothing but my name.
I've redone the work 3 times now, and the result is always the same.

Courses Plus Student 3,022 PointsSam, once I did your solution, it worked. I'm using IE11.

7,466 PointsI'm happy that suggestion fixed your issue, Tristan. I was a PC loyalist for many years (I was partial to IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads.) and had problems with IE pretty often. Switched to Mozilla Firefox and liked it better but some banks don't optimize their scripts for Firefox and I was having trouble downloading my transactions into Quicken. Last year I made a more drastic switch -- to a MacBookPro -- and I browse only with Safari. I have to say I am glad I made the switch, for many reasons. I don't ever want go back to a PC for my main work -- but I still use my old Thinkpad for Quicken Home & Business because Intuit doesn't make an OS X version.

Courses Plus Student 3,022 PointsWell Sam, it appears the problem came back. Tried the solution again and can't get it to work.

7,466 PointsHmmm....Are the images labeled .jpg or .jpeg? And are the image tags pointing to *.jpg or *.jpeg?
Sam Shiffman
7,466 PointsWoops -- I'm sorry, Tristan. I confused your question with another question in the Forum.
Are you experiencing this issue at the "Add Style to the Page" module in the "How To Make a Website" course?

Sam Shiffman
7,466 PointsPatrick, I will be happy to help but I would need to see your code, so copy and paste it in this forum and I'll take a look.

You can use triple backticks(`)(the tilde key on US keyboards) to format your post as code. E,g,:
```HTML
Put your code in a block like this.
