When you uploaded the image via your FTP client did you ensure that the ASCII option was not checked?
I ask this because I have spent the past three hours trying to figure out why images I was uploading were not displaying correctly, then I discovered by chance that FTP surfer had, under the Tools menu, the ASCII option checked.

Good thought , but no.the image is fine,and duplicating the HTML in another file,displays it OK.

You realize, of course, that while you're doing this, you have to cross dress? The rules are very strict...

Please!
I thought I'd been around long enough for you to realize that I never wear clothes while posting on CP!
But you're right - I shouldn't break the guidelines - I have slipped on a baby-doll nighty.
And if I find out who left it on the floor ...

Stupid remark of the day:
Use
./images/myimage.jpg
instead of
images/myimage.jpg

If only you knew how many variations of this I tried before finally finding the solution!

I've only ever read two chapters of his work (and watched one TV series, and read one collaboration), so I'm afraid I won't get any "in" jokes.

Or not, if I so choose.
Reading just isn't something I do, any more.

That's why I can't read.

For future reference, if you look about 2/3rds of the way down the page, there is "Permanent link to this comic: http://xkcd.com/1498/" which means that the link in your post doesn't become meaningless, confusing, or possibly slanderous when Randall posts tomorrows cartoon...

I was sure I got the permanent link...  ... now updated. Thank you...

Except you only updated the "new page" link - the "this page" link is still just "XKCD.com"

Aha!
So it's the page you keep missing!
Makes a bit more sense, now.

The only book from him that I read is Good Omens which he wrote together with Neil Gaiman whose books I've read all. As they both state in their respective epilogues they can't remember who wrote what as they were so involved with the story as a whole - so I have no way of telling what stems from Terry Pratchett. But it doesn't matter I guess - the book is nothing short of magnificiently grandiose so I probably should go and give Terry a try too

Oh, you should indeed!
Not for nothing was he "the most shoplifted author in Britain"!
An excellent writer, storyteller, thought provoker.
His books are extremely readable, funny, and all-round worth reading. Ignore the earliest ones to start with - he hadn't really settled into his style yet - and read some of the Discworld books - "Guards, Guards" or "Thief of Time" are good.

You should definitely give a try to Sir Terry - his have a splendid way to make you think about serious things, while he delivers those 'light' but well written stories of his...
But probably you should start with stories from his 'middle-age', start with the Diskworld[^] stories...
