Just finished the basic HTML blog project, getting a "named entity expected. Got none" error.

I'm not sure if linking the project url will work, but in case that is enough: https://code.sololearn.com/WOGx55Z3fp36/#html Also, I've made the project public through my profile. Anyway, I've customised the blog template when and where applicable, tried to add as much relevant stuff from the lessons, and everything seems to be running fine, apart from 1 single error, early on in the profile picture section. I've linked to a facebook picture, made sure that the alt section is filled in (not 100% on if that works but I figured it's something) and changed the & to & amp; but the error is still there. I've started the HTML course just yesterday and never programmed or coded before, so I'm a bit stuck now.

That's because there is an '&' symbol inside a link or src. HTML don't read entities like ampersand symbols. You should use %26 as an ampersand instead.

I couldn't find any error. I think it's working fine.

instead of "&" just add "amp;" and make it "&" especially on html5... each ampersand "&" on the link apply "&"
