Hi, Mich, please explain in more detail if you can. "workspace file tree" is the workspace at Treehouse where you can practice coding? The rest of your question I really do not understand. Maja

yes, it's the workspace is from Treehouse and is for practice coding. I was unable to download the practice project file directly to the filetree of my workspace, l had to save it on my computer desktop so l could proceed with the practice but l couldn't link my coding ( practice) to the desktop destination where l saved the file. e.g ( <a href="desktop/number-01.jpg"> <img src="desktop/numbers-01.jpg" alt""> )

So now you have part of the project at Treehouse workspace and part of the project on your desktop (on your computer). And what you need is having a whole project in one place - either in Treehouse workspace or on your desktop. Please let me know if I am on the right track trying to help you?

l already have file like normalize.css and the img folder saved on my computer, l need to neither learn how to save them directly on my treehouse workspace or link it to my practice project on my treehouse work space.

This is the link. I think what you need is to open a new folder in Treehouse workspace called img and upload your images in it. Just like it is shown in this video at the very beginning. Hope it helps.... because as I understand you have the images on your compter but you would like to have them at Treehouse workspace.
