I always have issues when changing mine ::)

Post the link up and we can see if we can see what's wrong ;)

Oh, and linking to FB photos won't work

It has to be a link to a valid image, not something generated by a 3rd party website.

Ideally, hosted on a reasonably quick host - even the freebie ISP hosting many people get with their broadband is OK.  Personally, I'd recommened Photobucket as a freebie image host, as its quick, easy to use (with apps for most mobile platforms), and free.
