Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 19,470 Pointsplace Img not working
When I got to the section where the instructor places image place holders to the website in workspaces, I tried to change the pixel numbers, but for some reason its not working, I can't put 400 by 400, did anyone encounter the same problem?

But if not, it's easy to manually construct a URL to fit your needs:
http://placeimg.com/width/height/category
Just replace "width" and "height" with the desired size in pixels, and "category" with one of: "animals", "arch", "nature", "people", "tech", or "all".
