Hi!

An example would be:

<img src="image.jpg" alt="A picture of me in Spain">

Where "image.jpg" is the location of the file.

The src attribute goes right after the opening tag, followed by alt and any other attributes you want to declare for the image.

<img src="placeholder.url" alt="Placeheld">
