I love FCC. However, as someone who has some familiarity with HTML and CSS, and some difficulty with certain elements of syntax, I notice that sometimes things are not explained as completely as a book would do. I understand all of the above and what I would suggest is at some point talking about paths – relative paths, absolute paths, and supported file extensions. Uploading a .psd is not going to render inline, and they need to know that. I once had someone make a Dreamweaver site completely of absolute paths. Needless to say, that didn’t go well. Thanks for this great tool.

I guess we could maintain a set of redirection links, so campers see https://freecodecamp.com/public/images/relaxing-cat.png instead of the bit.ly link. But I doubt it would be worth the effort of maintaining the redirects.

Another idea is to clarify what the link stands for - Note: the exact contents of the link is not important - all you need to know is that the src attribute allow us to tell the browser from where it should get images

@QuincyLarson Yeah, that was @smkatz’s idea! 😊

Image paths doesn’t seem to require extensions
