Image Tag Problem

I keep rechecking my code, but keep getting this message: Bummer! Make sure to include an image tag that includes "numbers-01.jpg"

Can anyone tell me what the problem is because I am failing to see it. Thanks!

  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>

Oh okay I see the problem you don't need to link the images just put them inside of the <li></li> tags and you should be just fine. Take away the a href links and you will be good. Also take away the img/ file in front of the image file. It should look similar to this <li><img src="numbers-01.jpg" alt=""></li> Let me know if you got the answer right.

First before I can answer that, are you sure that the image itself is inside of the img file?

Hi Kalina, thanks for responding. This is just for one of the "Challenge Task" code tests after the video (not inside workspaces), so I don't think we're working with real files and images, right?

I actually can't see the instructions so I'm not sure. Could you send the link if possible of the video challenge task? If you don't mind!

There is no need to put the file in an 'img' directory. You can just put the file name by itself in the src attribute.
