if anyone could help meh i would literally bake them a cake-

taking the first plunge at html and creating my website rn. im working all in notepad rn and then loading it as a webpage. i'm trying to add a gif at the bottom of the page and although i seem to be nesting correctly, its still failing to load the gif, whether i load it from imgur or filegarden. this is also happening with all other images and gifs i try, so i know its not the file itself.

code: (without the dashes in img, i just wanted it visible)
<head>
<title>enter the cyberverse...</title>
</head>
<body>

<h1>welcome to my cyberverse!~</h1>

   here you will find what goes on in the inner
   workings of mah miiiind~ lol</p>

i think it might be the image link actually... You have not linked to tha actual image, but to the page hosting the image.
Try with this link:
Code
https://i.imgur.com/YSgp8FY.gif 
See the .gif ending? That means it is a link to a GIF and not something else. If it still doesn't work it has to be sorcery or something...

yeah, imgur will often put a sort of shell site around images and its annoyingly difficult to get at the actual image source!
it sounds like you're not hosting your site online yet - you can just save your images and gifs to your folder that contains your html file, and link to them. this also means if you upload the whole site folder to neocities/your host of choice, you'll host the images too and the link to them will still work.
example:
Code
<img src="boombox.gif">
or even better, organise your images with subfolders:
Code
<img src="images/gifs/boombox.gif">
this is the better way of doing things - and you can also do this with html files in hyperlinks. for example, if you have a homepage and an about page saved in the same folder, you should just write
Code
<a href="/about.html">
not the whole http://yourwebsite.com/about.html! (its also a whole lot less copying and pasting).
i hope this helps :)

It's unrelated to the coding stuff here, but filegarden is currently down so it won't work regardless. :( I hope it comes back up soon... I'm on a school computer currently so I can't link the post, but I believe filegarden has a bluesky account that is posting updates.

Since you promised to bake a cake, you should bake a cake and post pictures. Then you can eat the cake :mark:   :transport:  :transport:  :transport:
