1) align attribute doesn't seem to be HTML 5.

2) what is the difference between the <br> and the <br /> tags, they seem to be     used interchangeably in the code for this lesson?

3) is there a better way of shifting text to the right than the multiple &nbsp; characters used in the code?

4) the image source to The Scream in the code no longer works, it should be
<img src="http://www.w3schools.com/html/img_the_scream.jpg" width="220"
   height="227" alt="The Scream" />.  By the way, what does the final forward slash "/" do, its presence or absence seems to make no difference in IE11 or Chrome?

I like the Scream composition you choose by Edward Munch. There is so much emotion in it. It is almost as if you can hear the guy about to scream. I honestly forgot who the artist was, and, for that reason, I am glad you incorporated into the lesson.  
Thank you

WHO is really an acronym, not an abbreviation. An abbreviation would be Mr. Mrs. etc... Can you see the difference? The <acronym> tag can also be used with the title same attribute. It's better to use them correctly, as the tags are for the correct markup of context NOT for styling.
