    when I first doing secondary blog cutsomize header background, the image uploading didn't work. So I changed permission of "blogs.dir" and "uploads" to 777.
    Should I keep them stay 777 to enable other blogs functional, or should I change them back to 755 ?

    You might want to contact your host. Its possible you do need 777 but not very secure. Might also look at the Owner/group for the directories. Might be an error in that. And try disabling plugins to see if one is causing this issue.
    Otherwise, take a look at this post:

    This was an issue where because of how the host has their servers they require using cgiwrap which is a workaround to not have to use 777 which is world-writeable. In case it applies to your host.
