Whenever I use a placeholder image it will not show up.

8,779 PointsThere are various reasons why this might happen from improperly referencing a directory, to code written incorrectly, to the image file itself not being hosted anywhere to pull from. When utilizing the img tag make sure you use the correct syntax of <img src="image_url"> and that the source equals a correct location in a directory or the url where the file is hosted. For example: <img src="https://source.unsplash.com/random">. But Cameron is right, this question is impossible to answer without more detail. - Hope this helps anyway.

Could you provide us with your code? It's hard to help without seeing what you're working on.
You can either take a snapshot of your workspace by clicking the camera icon in the top right and post the link that it generates or you can copy and paste your code here. If you copy/paste make sure to use the "markdown cheatsheet" linked below the comment box for formatting so it's easy to read.
