[Coco] Gene, heads up again, I cannot access your site.

Have you tried using relative URLs instead of fully-qualified URLs? Using a 
relative URL like <img src="/gene/pix/EasterSundayCropped2004-1.jpg" /> or 
<a href="/gene/Genes-os9-stf">...</a> lets the browser figure out the 
fully-qualified URL based on the URL used to access the site so links 
continue to work regardless of the mechanism used to access the site.

Using fully-qualified URLs for internal links isn't generally a good idea 
anyway because it makes the site more difficult to maintain if the 
fully-qualified URL changes for any reason.

Ok, does anyone know if I could set an environment var to that address, and
then us it in the pages scripts, replacing the hard coded
gene.homelinux.net string in the scripts with the env var's name?
