If you wanna link from geocities, all you gotta do is copy the .jpg as a .txt, then link the (IMG) thing but make it as .txt instead of a .jpg, it's an interesting work around, but it works.

-glad to see you got the work around to display correctly, I don't think geocities is smart enough to realize this bug, and if they did fix it, it'd probably screw up their Pop-ups or something like that, so oh well.  It's free at least.
