  2. Identify the location in your HTML where you want to insert the image.
  3. Use the <img> element to add the image. Here’s a breakdown of the attributes you can use:
<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of the image" width="400" height="300">
  1. src: This attribute specifies the source (path) of the image file. Replace "image.jpg" with the actual path to your image file.
  2. alt: This attribute provides alternative text for the image. It’s used when the image can’t be displayed or for accessibility purposes.
  3. width and height: These attributes control the dimensions of the displayed image in pixels.

Audio elements can add an auditory dimension to your webpage. Here’s how to include audio:
