testing geocities picture:
IIRC, there is a way to get around geocities block, but I don't remember off the top.
edit: there are two ways that I found. One is to right click on the x and select properties. It will show you full URL of the picture which you can copy and paste into your browser.
You can also right-click on the picture and select copy and then paste it into some web-enabled app. Word 2000 worked for me, but there are probably others.
