Does my photo appear?

Hi all,

Yesterday an acquaintance was looking at my blog and the photo did not appear. They had just upgraded their computer to windows 2007 so that might have been the problem as the photo always appears for me. I was wondering if my computer has to be on for the photo to appear (I only have it on when I am using it, so it was not on when the acquaintance accessed my blog). I won't have my computer on for the next few hours - it is 9.40 am est in Australia - so can anyone who reads my blog leave a comment on whether the picture came up and if they use windows 2007.

Graham.

It could be worked until it collapsed, beaten when it disobeyed, raped, bred and its children sold. It was not human, just a farm animal. The slaves don’t behave like farm animals as they create their own community. They look after each ...

Although this blog is mainly about science fiction, I sometimes read pure literature just to see what the other side is up. Jonathon Franzen is one of my favourite non-genre authors and here is a review of Purity, which I just finished reading.   Purity is literature with a plot. The plot revolves around secrets with the two main secrets being Purity’s search for the identity of her father, and the cover-up of a murder. The novel follows four main characters: Purity, Andreas Wolf, Tom and Leila. Purity is a recent university graduate in search of journalism job. She was raised by a controlling, but loving, mother who always got her own way and would argue for hours about the most trivial matters. Andreas Wolf is modelled on Julian Assange, complete with his own version of Wikileaks. Wolf was raised in East Germany and was a reluctant escapee when the wall came down as East Germany was a seemingly perfect place to keep his secrets. Tom is the owner and editor of an invest...
