I'm trying to put a gif onto my jekyll site.
I've tried the standard
as well as:
<figure>
<IMG SRC="assets/Animation/run.gif">
</figure>
but each time I just get the little blue question mark icon saying it can't find it? All the stuff I can find online seems to suggest it should 'just work'.
Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
You're using a "relative to current path" url : assets/Animation/run.gif
On a page with url like protocol://domain.tld/cat1/cat2/year/month/day/, this will resolve based on current path :
protocol://domain.tld/cat1/cat2/year/month/day/assets/Animation/run.gif
Which is wrong.
You must call you assets with "relative to root" urls :
or
<img src="{{ site.baseurl }}/assets/Animation/run.gif">
