Ok.

I added it to http://www.geany.org/Download/Extras. Though the image is
a bit big for the site. We could resize it using Wiki markup but then
the alignment breaks (limitation in the Wiki markup). So it'd be nice
if you could alternatively provide a smaller image, maybe scaled to
200px or 250px in width, so I could use that one for the page. If you
can't or don't want to, just say so, then I put a smaller version on
geany.org but I think it'd be nicer to use "your" image, so if you
update it, you don't need me.

Cool.

Don't worry, just don't do it again :).
