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.


You have multiple syntax errors. Is there a part of the example that we can explain?

<img src="https://www.freecatphotoapp.com/your-image.jpg" alt="A business cat wearing a necktie.">

html does have some wonky old tags, and img is one of those. Html has evolved from the early days, html5 being a great example, and like most things, the standards body tried to improve and clarify, but we are just stuck with the need to know that when you want to reference an image, the tag name is img.

notice the tag is:

<img ...>

not

<image ...>
