The first one didn't work because the
www.avatarity.com site doesn't let you link directly from their site:
<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr>
Note: Please do not steal our bandwidth. Do not remote-link to this or any other of our avatars directly. If you wish to use an avatar from this site, please download it to your computer, or your website first.
You can download the avatar by right-clicking it, and selecting "Save Image As..." from the menu that pops up.
If you remote-link one of our avatars, it will appear as a broken image to others. (You may still see it because your browser has it cached, but others will not!)
