I just had the same problem. I noticed when I downloaded my workspace is that my folder was named img and in my directory in side the actual workspace it was Img. I changed it to img and previewed. It worked. Everything must be exact for it to work. I hope that helps.

Hi Brady,

Do you have a folder named img with an image inside named numbers-01.jpg?

If so, is your html file on the same level of that folder?

What is the structure of you files.

Do you have a main folder where you have all the files?

It should look something like this:

main folder [ index.html (or whatever name you have) img (this is a folder where you keep all the images) ]
