My picture will not show up when I go to preview my work. Just showing a "?" I have followed all the step.

I have uploaded my picture, renamed it, and referenced in my code, but once I go to preview my work, it is just showing a "?"

Can you add your code so we can better understand the problem

The easiest way for us to troubleshoot this is if you can add a link to a snapshot of your workspace. That way, we can make a copy and take a look around for you :sparkles:

Here is a copy of my code (not sure how to snapshot):

Also - could the picture be too big? I just changed pictures and it is now working.

Brantley Long Unfortunately, it's no longer possible to say why it wasn't working earlier as we didn't get to see it in its non-functional state. Here are some likely culprits: misspelling/incorrect capitalization in the filename, the file being moved to an incorrect position in the file structure, incorrect spacing in the img src attribute. There are more.

When I asked you for a snapshot, I linked to an instructional video about workspaces to assist you in making one. Likely as not, you will run into problems sometime in the future and knowing how to make one of these is going to be critical for your fellow students to be able to assist you :sparkles:

I have now watched the video about creating a snapshot and I am still unclear on how to share the snapshot.

But I did get my other pictures to work. I think that I didn't have the .JPEG capitalized in the code and once I did that it is working.
