You're right, that does work. Thought I tried it, but I must've
screwed something up. Thanks!
Where were you a couple of days ago... :-)

Here is what I do. Create a directory below the home directory called
images.
You should be able to access images using: http://(domain)/images/Logo.gif
Change the links to: <img src="../images/Logo.gif"> (that is with two
periods).
Mmm...
