Why does it keep asking me to add alt text to my twitter link when I already have? I think something is broken.

you're missing an equals sign "=" after your alt attributes.

You can try saving then closing the browser and reloading everything, if you think its broken. It probably isn't and there is something wrong with your coding, post it so fresh eyes can look at your work.

You could try refreshing the browser, occasionally things get messed up. But could just be a stray character somewhere. Could you post the code? (You need to follow the markdown instructions on how to post code in the comments)

I tried to post the code in comments but it doesnt show up even with the ''' in between. This is frustrating being a newb.

That's the wrong character, looks like you're using single quote marks. You need to put three ticks ``` (copy and paste from my comment to make sure). Put them before and after your code. Also put "html" straight after the first set of ticks to tell it which language it should format for.
