Why won't the image randomize? Every time I refresh it's the same image generated on placeimg.

I've followed exactly what she does, my code looks the same. I've tried with the /nature /any, I've even tried some other websites and still the image doesn't change once set, even when reloading the page.

Hi, Bethany! Your browser is caching the image; this is entirely normal. You'll need to clear your cache each time you want to see a new image. If you're using Windows, a quick and easy way to do this is to do a hard refresh by pressing Ctrl + F5 on your keyboard. If not, just go into your browser settings and clear your cache, then refresh normally. I don't think there's as easy of a method to hard refresh on Mac as on Windows. I hope this helps!
