Well, for your avatar, I'm getting a 403 error when I try to view the actual file, plus it doesn't end with "jpg" or "gif". The file's in there, but it looks like it got eaten by some Linux or something.
Might wanna check your images.
Also, you aren't gonna be using geocities for your avatar image. It doesn't work like that. Geocities hates outside liking. Try imageshack.
