Previewing borders in Photoshop 7

I've been trying to add borders (by way of stroke, emboss, etc) to some icons, but they look one way when I preview them against a white background in Photoshop and then another way when I upload them to LJ. Is this normal? If it isn't, how should I fix it.

This is the original icon:

This is with a subtle embossing meant to add a light border:

On my computer, the second one has a much more pronounced border on all 4 sides.

(And as an aside, the one I'm posting with is the other one to have this problem, where this border is significantly thinner than it was when previewed.)
