You are also missing "=" and a space with the alt tage in the social icons towards the bottom.

You have not entered "picture-nick.jpg" only "nick.jpg"

<code>src="img/nick.jpg" alt="Photograph of Nick Pettit" class="profile-photo"</code>

wait...the name of the image in the workspaces is "nick.jpg" not "picture-nick.jpg The photo appears when I remove the html code related to the 'alt' and 'class' So with this html code <img src="img/nick.jpg" alt=""> the photo appears however when i apply the code just like it is in the video : <img src="img/nick.jpg" alt="Photograph of Nick Petitt" class="profile-photo"> the photo does not appear in my about page.

Hi Khalil. Can you post the CSS code as well? If removing the class attribute allows the picture to show, then I think your problem is in your stylesheet.

very humbling ...smh...thanks
