   I am having trouble uploadig images from my computer to the Blog. It is coming up with the following MSG:

   "Unable to create directory /home/ew1374/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server?"

   Please Help.

   Can you log into your wordpress site via ftp?

   If so, check the permissions on the /wp-content folder and its subfolders. Read through http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions for more information.

   No I dont have ftp access...

   When I go to my miscellaneous settings within my admin page it says that uploads are stored in this folder "wp-content/uploads" maybe it needs to be something else?

   -- Nope, that's the default folder setting

   -- Based on the error you reported, WordPress does not have permission to write to the wp-content directory (either to create folders or write files). If you don't have the ability to change the permissions of that folder you'll need to work with your host to do so.
