The image does not come up and shows a question mark. Help!

At the end of the video I put in the necessary code for the picture to show up but all it did was show the question mark. I looked back at the transcript because it said something about the images not showing up but it didn't say how to make them appear.

Maybe double check where you placed the image at. You said you used the photo shown in the videos. I suppose you downloaded the photo along with the other project files. Maybe you put the photo in the same directory as your index.html and your image tag has something like <img src="img/imagename.jpg"> in which case the browser is looking for the image in a directory below it actually is in. Or vice versa and you have forgotten to put the img/ directory before the image filename.

Do you still get the question mark coming up in place of the image after changing these details?
