The checker looks for:
href="http://www.d-r-d.com/cgi-bin/ringlink/home.pl?ringid=disabilities;siteid=SITEID"
Accordingly, an image link will pass, but only if you add the correct
siteid to the string.
You might wonder why the checker looks for the siteid when checking home
links, since the program doesn't need that value to direct the surfer to
the ring homepage. The reason is that it's needed for the coming
statistics feature - the referring site will be credited one generated
hit.
