I post a fair number of pictures in my blog entries. Most are surrounded by a div element (for the drop shadow — thanks again, Ginny), which seems to work just fine.
But in Google Reader, strange things happen with the feed of my entries:
- In Firefox 3, the picture shows up for a brief moment, then vanishes, causing the drop shadow to vanish (dwindle to zero dimensions).
- In IE 6, the drop shadow box shows up, but the image inside is “broken” and doesn’t display. A view of the properties shows the URL is correct, and, when pasted on the address line, pulls up the picture.
- In Chrome, just like IE 6. An inspection of the object looks okay.
The original pages show up okay (with images) in just the plain old browser.
Flickr objects, inside those same div elements, display fine. The feed from my Blog of Heroes blog, which doesn’t use those divs, displays images fine.
So … anyone have any idea of what’s broken?

I always assumed you were blocking hotlinks to your images and hadn’t made Google an exception to the rule.
Well, you made me look … 🙂
But, no. And the image does show up, briefly (in FF).
