Hi im doing my Tribute Page and I got stuck need little help?

Hi I’m working on my tribute page and I hit a road block and looking for a little help.

Your code so far

<h1>Dr. Norman Borlaug</h1>
 <p>The man who saved a billion lives</p>
<img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3689/10613180113_fdf7bcd316_b.jpg" alt="Dr. norman save lives">
<p>Dr. Norman Borlaug, third from the left, trains biologists in Mexico on how to increase wheat yields - part of his life-long war on hunger.</p>
 
<h3>Here's a time line of Dr. Borlaug's life:</h3>
<ul>
  <li><strong>1914</strong> - Born in Cresco, Iowa
  </li>
  <li><strong>1933</strong> - Leaves his family's farm to attend the University of Minnesota, thanks to a Depression era program known as the "National Youth Administration"
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>1935</strong> - Has to stop school and save up more money. Works in the Civilian Conservation Corps, helping starving Americans. "I saw how food changed them", he said. "All of this left scars on me."
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>1937</strong> - Finishes university and takes a job in the US Forestry Service
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>1938</strong> - Marries wife of 69 years Margret Gibson. Gets laid off due to budget cuts. Inspired by Elvin Charles Stakman, he returns to school study under Stakman, who teaches him about breeding pest-resistent plants.
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>1941</strong> - Tries to enroll in the military after the Pearl Harbor attack, but is rejected. Instead, the military asked his lab to work on waterproof glue, DDT to control malaria, disenfectants, and other applied science. 
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>1942</strong> - Receives a Ph.D. in Genetics and Plant Pathology
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>1944</strong> - Rejects a 100% salary increase from Dupont, leaves behind his pregnant wife, and flies to Mexico to head a new plant pathology program. Over the next 16 years, his team breeds 6,000 different strains of disease resistent wheat - including different varieties for each major climate on Earth.
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>1945</strong> - Discovers a way to grown wheat twice each season, doubling wheat yields  
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>1953</strong> - crosses a short, sturdy dwarf breed of wheat with a high-yeidling American breed, creating a strain that responds well to fertalizer. It goes on to provide 95% of Mexico's wheat.
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>1962</strong> - Visits Delhi and brings his high-yielding strains of wheat to the Indian subcontinent in time to help mitigate mass starvation due to a rapidly expanding population
  </li>
  <li>
    <strong>1970</strong> - receives the Nobel Peace Prize
  </li>
      <li>
        <strong>1983</strong> - helps seven African countries dramatically increase their maize and sorghum yields
      </li>
  <li> <strong>1984</strong> - becomes a distinguished professor at Texas A&M university
  </li>
  <li> <strong>2005</strong> - states "we will have to double the world food supply by 2050." Argues that genetically modified crops are the only way we can meet the demand, as we run out of arable land. Says that GM crops are not inherently dangerous because "we've been genetically modifying plants and animals for a long time. Long before we called it science, people were selecting the best breeds."
  </li>
  <li> <strong>2009</strong> - dies at age of 95.
    </li>
  
</ul>
<p><em>"Borlaug's life and achievement are testimony to the far-reaching contribution that one man's towering intellect, persistence and scientific vision can make to human peace and progress."

  -- Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh</p></em>

Hello there.

Do you have a question?

If so, please edit your post to include it in the Tell us what’s happening section.

Learning to describe problems is an important part of learning how to code.

Also, the more information you give us, the more likely we are to be able to help.

first i’m trying to change my background and use the id tag for the image.

Please provide a link to your pen rather than pasting code.

You should not try and replicate the sample projects. They show one way the project can be done. The instructions say your should be “functionally similar” and “give it your own personal style”.

And what are you expecting to see? And what are you not seeing?
We cannot see anything without seeing your code.
Side note, there is not such thing as an id tag. There is an id attribute.
