Picture on About Page

I am trying to add the photo for my about page on my website. However, before I did this I uploaded it treehouse and the picture went from being vertical to being sideways. How can I fix this? Also how do I correctly add my photo into the code.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Courtney

Depending on where the image is in your server, in relation to your index.html file, you just add an image with the 

<img src="folder/filename.png" />

As for the problem with the flipped Image I'm not sure about that... do you have a copy of the image before you uploaded it to Treehouse? Do you know how to get it onto your server using ftp?

Hi Jonathan,

Yes, I do have a copy of the photo. I made the image smaller in edit mode on my desktop and reloaded it, but it didn't help. I don't understand your second question. What is ftp?

Great about the photo flip. :)

FTP is File Transfer Protocol which is a way of uploading files and web pages to your website. I think Nick goes through a video on how to do this once the website your building is done.

For now just know that you get images to show up on your page specifying the file path to the image with the HTML image element. :-)
