Not sure why my images arent showing up.

My images only show up when my index.html is in the samr folder as my images. when trying to do it otherwise, it just shows the alt info.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
  <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
  <img src="images/portfolio-1.png" alt="gfhfghfg">

</body>
</html>

Hey. Image tag is a self-closing tag so it should have forward slash at the end.

<img src="images/portfolio-1.png" alt="gfhfghfg" />

This might be the solution to your problem.

Self closing tags/empty elements can also be defined in the same way as the student's.

<meta charset="utf-8">
<img src="img/file.jpg" alt="picture">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">

<!--  Is the same as -->

<meta charset="utf-8" />
<img src="img/file.jpg" alt="picture" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css" />

Therefore it is a matter of preference and not the cause of the issue.
