697 PointsHi Andrew,
First, your doctype should look like this: <!doctype html> or <!DOCTYPE html> .
Second, src is an attribute. Some tags in HTML need attributes, which are just extra pieces of information. You have an <img> tag, which is an image. Images need to include a path to the location of where the picture is stored. That is what the src (source) attribute is, the location of the file.
It should look like this: <img src=""> You need to put the location of the file in between the quotation marks.
This is an example of a file path:
./images/example.png
Example.png is the actual image file.
If the image is in the same folder as the html file, it would look like this:
./example.png
