Re: local links and bilingual pages

Uh...  the $base_url will point to the pyblosxom.cgi script--it doesn't
point to a place on the file system.  PyBlosxom generates the base_url
variable--it's always set to something.  You can over-ride it by setting
it in config.py.  Regardless, it doesn't point to your filesystem.

Maybe you should use Magnus' image kicker plugin.  That allows pyblosxom
to serve up images.  It (and some documentation and the code) are in the
registry at:

http://www.planetpyblosxom.org/blog/registry/display/graphics/imagekicker

See if that helps.  I was playing with it the other day--I'm pretty sure
this will solve your issue.
