Was practicing and testing, but this part that picture didn't pop up. Did I do anything wrong? or is it because of the thing he kind of talked about how the file cant be found? thanks

693 PointsHi Valerie, thanks for your comment. I'm honestly 100% not sure. what do you mean on the same level? :x

2,531 Points@andy - same level means are all your files (in this case, images) in the same folder as your css? I'm assuming that they aren't and are probably in an img folder somewhere that is separate from your css
if they were on the same level or folder as your css, you can get away with saying img/mypic.jpg
if they are not on the same level, you are basically using your path to say, get out of the css folder, look in the img folder and find mypic.jpg (i.e. /img/mypic.jpg)
