To put a little holiday spirit on my geeklog :-) I'm trying use the static page Frontpage feature to put a gif image on the top of the homepage. When I view the static page itself it looks ok. When I view the homepage, it doesn't display the image. The static page includes this html: <img src="/images/santaborder.gif" border="0"> When I view properties on the "missing" image on the home page it shows: http://my.geeklog.com/"/images/santaborder.gif/" Thanks, Bob

Not sure why it's doing this, but why don't you simply use the full URL for the image in the <img> tag? bye, Dirk

Are you adding the image on top of your homepage or on a story?

Have you tried dropping the quote marks from around the image link?
