 * I see where I am supposed to edit the images. So I put in:
 * <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″?>
    <images> <url>[http://www.newprimeaircargo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/banner23-e1340229248314.jpg</url&gt](http://www.newprimeaircargo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/banner23-e1340229248314.jpg</url&gt);
   <url>images/trinity-college-dublin-irel.jpg</url> <url>images/gordons-bay-sydney-
   australi.jpg</url> <url>images/mission-bay-nz.jpg</url> <url>images/ballymena-
   northern-ireland.jpg</url> </images>
 * just to try out my new image, but my new image is just blank. The other images
   are still rotating through. Where, exactly, am I supposed to add the URL to my
   images?
 * I am a total novice, so I need help. This widget is EXACTLY what I need. Help!

 * Hi there,
 * Thank-you for your question, it is a really good question!
 * The reason is that the plugin uses URLs relative to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/
   header-slideshow/resources/’ directory, and so it isn’t finding your image.
 * **The solution is:**
    Replace `http://www.yourdomain.com/wp-content/` with `../../../`
 * Of course you must include the rest of the file path too.
 * For example, for the file you have mentioned, the code would be:
    `../../../uploads/
   2012/06/banner23-e1340229248314.jpg`
 * Hope this helps.
 * Kind regards,
    Michael
