Same broken image problem. same solution did not fix it. totally stumped...again...

Basically the exact same thing that happened before is happening again. I tried all of the things suggested including what fixed the problem last time (which was just a stupid syntax error on my part) but nothing will work. I am at the part of the program where I am embedding the twitter and facebook PNGs to the footer. Here is my code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Jake Mautner | Filmmaker</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
    <a href="index.html">
    <h1>Jake Mautner</h1>
    <h2>Filmmaker</h2>
    </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio.</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About.</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact.</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
    <ul>
      <li>
        <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg">
          <img src="IMG/numbers-01.jpg" alt="">
          <p>the number one in a black box.</p>
        </a>
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg">
          <img src="IMG/numbers-02.jpg" alt="">
          <p>the number 2 in a black box.</p>
        </a>
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg">
          <img src="IMG/numbers-06.jpg" alt="">
          <p>the number 6 in a black box.</p>
        </a>
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="img/numbers-09.jpg">
          <img src="IMG/numbers-09.jpg" alt="">
          <p>the number 9 in a black box.</p>
        </a>
      </li>
      <li>
        <a href="img/numbers-12.jpg">
          <img src="IMG/numbers-12.jpg" alt="">
          <p>the number 12 in a black box.</p>
        </a>
      </li>
    </ul>
    </section>
    <footer>
      <img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo">
      <p>&copy; 2104 Jake Mautner.</p>
    </footer>
  </body>
</html>

Thanks.

Try lowercasing your img when your declaring it because there are lowercase and upcase img in your code. I don't know if that should conflict but also check if your current page is in the home directory.

If not try html <img src="../img/numbers-09.jpg"/>

Uppercase or lowercase shouldn't really matter.

I'm assuming you're taking the 'How to Make A Website" course. Did you download the twitter and Facebook png's then drag them into your workspace? If so, make sure they are linked to the right folder (img).

When I look at my code from the course, the footer also contains an anchor element with an href. The href contains the site address you want the png's to link to:

Example:

<footer>

     <a href="http://www.YourTwitterLinkHere"><img src="img/twitter-wrap.png" alt="Twitter Logo" class="social-icon"></a>

The class "social-icon" (.social-icon) is then used in your CSS to set the width, height, etc.

Also, here is a helpful link on how to post your code in the Treehouse forums. It's easier to read than cutting and pasting.
