Hi There,

I have made this site: [www.samuelkarlbohn.com](http://www.samuelkarlbohn.com)

Within it (as you will see on the homepage) I have added an xml slideshow. As you can see, there is no problem with the slideshow if you follow the link i provided above, as it is www.sam(etc etc):

```auto
<slide>
        <url>http://www.samuelkarlbohn.co.uk/images/4_three_choirs.jpg</url>
        <title>World premiere of 'Sing for our Dreams' At the 2009 three choirs festival</title>
        <caption></caption>

    </slide>

```

HOWEVER, When typing into your browser [samuelkarlbohn.com](http://samuelkarlbohn.com) WITHOUT including www. :  
[http://samuelkarlbohn.com](http://samuelkarlbohn.com)  
as most people tend to these days, the slideshow doesnt work, as the path to the images within the xml file is [http://www.samuelkarlbohn.com](http://www.samuelkarlbohn.com). But when I take the www. out of this url path, the same problem occurs the other way around.

I am quite new to xml, and would really appreciate anyone’s help if they can shed some light on this!

Many Thanks In Advance,

Doodark x
