So it says I need to add the alt text to the twitter image. This is what I am typing:
<img src="img/twitter-wrap.png"> alt="Twitter Logo">
Isn't "Twitter Logo" the alt text? What am I missing?

572 PointsRight. I typed that into the original post, but only the last part showed up. Assuming that the img src is correct, does the alt text look correct as well?
alt="twitter logo">
