Why isn't my image displaying on my website using Dreamweaver 8 for PC?

I have the most simple website ever - a logo image and 2 lines of text. It's just a place holder for now. I have designed several full blown sites using Dreamweaver (v6 I think?) on the Mac. Now I have Dreamweaver 8 on PC.

Every time I upload my index.htm and image(jpg) file, I can see it fine in the WSYWIG editor in Dreamweaver, but it will not display in Firefox when looking at my site on the server.

The index.htm files is here:

http://stuffiminto.com/index.htm

The image is here:

http://stuffiminto.com/sitelogo.jpg

sitelogo.jpg is just a normal jpg done in Photoshop and saved with "save for web" like I've done a thousand times on my old Mac with the old version of Dreamweaver.

This is incredibly simple, so it's absolutely blowing my mind as to why the image won't display. The link is relative to the document,so what gives?

Any ideas? Help? I'm STUMPED! :)

Additional Details

Thank you Big Splash, for that sanity check. To make it more confusing:

The site does display properly if I clear my cookies and cache. THEN... if I hit refresh, the image does not display.

So... it doesn't display the 2nd time I view the site, only the first. Baffling! Any ideas? Anyone else see this behavior?

More: This doesn't happen in Internet Explorer... only in Firefox. So I guess it's a browser problem?

John:
I do use Dreamweaver for simple sites. It's what I'm used to using as a text editor and FTP uploading utility. Plus, it neatly stores all your files locally and does so much more quickly than by hand. :)

    I checked it out but it displays fine in IE 7, IE 8 and Firefox. Try hitting Refresh on your browser. The source code looks ok. Maybe you got it fixed. You may want to center the logo to balance with the text though.

    If I can help you with anything, let me know:

    There is a reason they charge $400 for a new copy of dreamweaver. CSS support, for one thing, would go a long way.

    Your link appeared fine in my firefox browser. The code looked fine. I just pulled it up in notepad. You should ditch the nbsp code and use CSS, though.

    I dumped the cache, and it still came up just fine in Firefox, Google Chrome, and Opera.

    You may be able to squeeze a few Bytes out of the image by making it into a GIF, but it's not a big deal.

    I suppose ftp clients make things a lot easier for Windows and Mac 9 users. ftp uses a Unix and Unixlike(Linux) command set with which I'm comfortable.
