Body: <p>This may be something obvious that I'm missing, but how can I make craft use absolute URLs for images add to rich text editor fields? Or use the {{siteUrl}} prior to the image src URL in order to fix the issue of images not being found. </p>
  
  <p>Side note - Why are the images not visible within the rich text editor when added? Is this because of the relative URLs too?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>

Comments.Text: Thanks for the info :) I have since used a matrix field with varying block types for text/images which solved the layout issue of need text then image then text.
