The img tag for images

Our Website of a Beginning Coder has no images yet. However, well-chosen images that are the right size and are displayed without errors are the key to a successful business. Therefore, Muffin gave us a new assignment: to understand all the formats and uses of images.

To do this, he sent us the layout of our blog with images. We have already saved them to the right folder. All you need to do is load them in their proper places within the layout.

Let’s look at how to display an image with the <img> tag. As we learned earlier, it has no closing tag. The src attribute specifies the image’s URL, telling the browser which image to load. The URL can be a relative path, just like the link addresses we have already used.

<img src="logo.png">

Let’s load an avatar image on the main page.
