Hi,

I would make sure all links are relative to the root of the website.
ie. don't just have links as images/mypicture.jpeg but as 
/images/mypicture.jpeg
Even if the directory containing the images is in the same directory as 
the page concerned, using a link relative to the root is more 
consistent.

hope this helps.
