Guys, I’ve only started a couple of weeks ago and am now trying to build my first tribute page. For some reason my image isn’t showing up. I’ve been stuck here for 2 days. Can anybody tell what I’m doing wrong please? ---

Could you recheck the link to your project. It is not working. ---

Thanks. Apparently I’m not allowed to publish my link until I’ve used the forum more. I’ll try to send you the bit of coding I’ve done? ![](https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/state-president-of-south-africa-nelson-mandela-smiles-on-news-photo/171532260) ---

You got the link wrong, try using the following link instead > [https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/state-president-of-south-africa-nelson-mandela-smiles-on-may-22-bonn-picture-id171532260](https://media.gettyimages.com/photos/state-president-of-south-africa-nelson-mandela-smiles-on-may-22-bonn-picture-id171532260) ---

Thank you so so much. That worked. I did try using different photo links but none I used worked. So is there anything I need to keep in mind when using/ copying images to use? ---

when you want to use an image in your img tag, the src should point to the image, not a page that has the image. Next time you can right click on the image and select “copy image address” ---
