Note that <code>img</code> elements are self-closing.
All <code>img</code> elements <strong>must</strong> have an <code>alt</code> attribute. The text inside an <code>alt</code> attribute is used for screen readers to improve accessibility and is displayed if the image fails to load.
Note: If the image is purely decorative, using an empty <code>alt</code> attribute is a best practice.
Ideally the <code>alt</code> attribute should not contain special characters unless needed.
Let's add an <code>alt</code> attribute to our <code>img</code> example above:
<code><img src="https://www.your-image-source.com/your-image.jpg" alt="Author standing on a beach with two thumbs up."></code>
</section>
## Instructions

Let's try to add an image to our website:
Insert an <code>img</code> tag, before the <code>h2</code> element.
Now set the <code>src</code> attribute so that it points to this url:
<code>https://bit.ly/fcc-relaxing-cat</code>
Finally don't forget to give your image an <code>alt</code> text.
testString: 'assert(new RegExp("\/\/bit.ly\/fcc-relaxing-cat|\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/freecodecamp\/relaxing-cat.jpg", "gi").test($("img").attr("src")), "Your image should have a <code>src</code> attribute that points to the kitten image.");'
