Hmm!  I'd read that *absolute* paths are the ones which are not good
for "****tability," should the need ever arise.

The CMS is due to how SBI! pur****ts to provide SEO-like results...it's
through their proprietary CMS that their database knows all kinds of
details about their customers' websites -- for SEO purposes -- which
is why files aren't uploaded by FTP by through their CMS' "widget" so
that everything is "registered" properly in their database....
