522 PointsUnable to Load IMGS
Hey guys!
So I'm trying to code the site and I'm following the same instructions that Nick is giving to me but for some reason my images won't load. For example, I just put the code in for Facebook but the logo won't appear, just "Facebook".

Can someone help me figure out how to fix this problem. Thanks!

Maybe it must be in the directory http://web-31xfu6o6i6.treehouse-app.com/IMG/ instead.
By the way, the html tag of your files has the alt attribute empty. Don't forget to add it. <img src="IMG/numbers-12.jpg" alt="">

Well I downloaded the zip folder like the video said and imported the pics to my workspace and then added them to the folder so should be good. But what do you mean by my html tag has an alt attribute that is empty? I'm sorry I'm a beginner can you explain that to me?

8,888 PointsSorry, I show a different thing. You don't use the "alt" attribute.
"alt" is another attribute for the "img" tag, just like "src". "alt" is used for giving a brief description of the image (no more than 3 words). e.g.
<img src="img/holidays_04.jpg" alt="Holiday picture">

522 PointsHi there,
I'm not sure what that means. I'm a beginner can you explain that in a little more detail? Is there a tag that needs to be deleted?
