Well, I've followed the instructions for pointing my domain name at my ccgi website. Thanks Ffupi and many others. The problem is that some (a lot) of graphics just ain't there.
I've changed the DNS Records, I've created a .htaccess file in the root of my ccgi bin and the website is displayed as requested albeit without the graphics. What am I missing? Compare the reults of these two addresses to see what I mean.

... and Andy
Help please.

First you need to learn about relative rather than absolute paths for files. All your main page links contain the full URL rather than a relative link to the file concerned. This means you cannot move the website easily and thus fall into the trap you have with the image paths no longer matching your new location.
Second, I assume you have setup the htaccess to make directory 10 your root for the domain. If so, no relative links can contain /10/ like the background image link. What that is actually looking for is a directory called 10 from the root of your domain, which does not exists. The directory 10 is actually your root for the domain.
Remember, any links starting / means the root of your domain, not the root of your ccgi.
Convert the website to relative paths and you can then relocate it without messing up the links to pages and images.

Gulp!
I had a feeling it might be a paths issue but I'm a lot confused now, I might revert back to the redirect until I understand more fully.
Why can't we just have a plus net switch (magic wand) to sort this.
