<img src="source" width="width" height="height"> where source is the source of the image, width is the image width on the x axis and height is the height on the y axis

Or you can just use JavaScript to change its size, target it with JS using its Id then set the width and height

first of all in html.. close the body tag after the img tag and then close the html tag.. it should be like this.. <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Call Of Duty</title> <link tel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> </head> <body> <img src="Call_of_duty.jpeg" alt="Call Of Duty"> </body> </html> and if u have saved the style.css file in the same place where the Html file is saved then now it should work.. and one more thing are you able to see the image in the browser?

Perhaps another part of your code is overriding the style (ie you are trying to style it twice). Otherwise your syntax, or the link to your stylesheet may have an error.

body{ background black width 50px height 50px text-align center } whats strange is if i add the width and height the alignment of the image is top left but if i remove them it centers the image.

You need colons : and semicolons ; in your CSS code. Also, to make a background, use background-color. And I wouldn't go changing the height and width of the body--why are you trying to? body{ background-color: black; text-align: center; } img{ width: 50px; height: 50px; }
