Hi. I have a persisting problem with my code. I did not want to follow the instructor and upload a random image, so I went ahead and uploaded an image of myslef ("JPG" (.jpg) 400px by 400px) on the workspace and the created a path for the image in my image ellement. Code is as follows: <img src="images/myproject.jpeg" alt="Teodor Kondev, Web Developer"> The alternative text is visible however the image fails to display.

As I see it in your forked workspace, your myproject.jpeg image isn't stored in the images folder. You'll want to review your routing. As you currently have the route set to images/myproject.jpeg, your html code is first looking in the images folder and then trying to find a file named `myproject.jpeg. There is no such file in the images folder though.
To fix this, you'll either need to:
- Take the
images/text out of your route
OR
- Put the image file into the
imagesfolder
When it comes to writing out routes to files, you can think of it as "What folders did I have to click to get to this file from the other one?"
Hope this helps!

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 2,254 PointsThank you ever so kindly. The problem is now fixed. For some reason I thought that the image file was saved in the image folder. Thank you for taking the time to help me out!
