I have some images I want to reference that are in my Public Folder on .Mac.

What's the syntax?

Something like: http://idisk.mac.com/username/Public/filename.jpg

?

http://homepage.mac.com/username/.Public/file.xxx
(don't forget the period before the folder name)

Or you could try something like this from the Apple KB http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42989 Accessing iDisk files from web browser.

OK, but that's not .Mac's documentation. That's the Apple Knowledge Base. I might indeed have found that eventually, but don't you think it should be in the .Mac manual? Anyway, finding documentation for particular features is famously difficult for lots of software programs --- .Mac being but one example of many.

I agree it should be in the documentation.

I think you need the dot before the "P" in "Public" for that to work.

Just check my sig, no dot needed
