When I go to comment the code, it shortens it to what you see above. How can I show the code?

Use the backtick for posting code...which is different than a single quote. the backtick is usually on the same key as ~.

Look underneath the textbox and youll see a link that say "Markdown Cheatsheet" which will tell you how to replicate code here.

You say the image isnt appearing, is it in the right folder? and have you indexed the right folder?

Yes, I have it in the Img folder, which is inside of my "How to make a website" folder

ok, so you should pull everything out, and redo the folders. the top folder should be "Project" then inside you have index.html, a css file, and the img files. that should help a little.

Ok! I'll let you know if that works. Also, when I used your new code, it takes me to an index page. In the tutorial I'm following, it should go directly to the main page. The main page is accessible under your code by clicking on the Img. How do I move it from "Img" and have it be my main page, the first page I see when I view my website?

In the code your image's src is written with a capital I. Is that the correct name of the folder?

the code I made is copied from yours. The reason you get redirected is your name at the top is a link with the "index.html" link.
