History:
Changed server, then images would not upload but solved this problem by changing the permission of the '12' december folder to '777'.
Current Problem:
Now when I write a post, and upload the image and then save, the post is shown on the site, but the image does not even though it is uploaded to the images folder
How about posting a link so we can see the problem for ourselves?

mountainjez,
Hi. me again! Are you using a custom permalink structure? I recently ran into a problem where the permalink records were not being immediately updated in the database. I fixed this issue by logging into the admin, navigating to Options -> Permalinks and clicking Update Permalink Structure.
This makes little sense to me - but it worked.
Hope this helps,
-Mike

Did you send it to the editor?
When I viewed the page source, I didn't see any img tags in your post body for the admin post.
Please refer to this page for complete instructions: http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Image_and_File_Attachments
Yes, your post doesn't have the photo in it.
Uploading the photo uploads it to the site. But then when you're working with the post, you still need to insert the photo into it where you want it to be. The link mfields gave explains how to do that.

This problem has only started to occur since changing hosts.
I have sent it to the editor, but when you press 'save and continue editing' or 'save' it transfers you to the home page and the image has not been included in the post
I followed the exact instructions as per the link but it does not work. I have been able to upload the images in the past, but not since i changed hosts.
I even tried to add a link, but it on clicking 'save' it sends you to the home page. So it will save plain text but not add images or hyperlinks.
this is the code that was in the html view before i clciked 'save':
webmaster test post with photo
<img src="http://livinginpatagonia.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/galagrey.jpg" height="230" width="307" />
So my conclusion is that is is striping all html code from the post....
When you send it to the editor, does it actually *appear* in the editor as well? I can't see how it can strip the code out, but I can see the editor not getting it properly in the first place.
Make sure ALL the wordpress files are on the server. Especially the *.js files. Make sure they all have the correct permissions. Look in the browser error console for any javascript errors.

Yes, the image actually appears in the editor, and even if I manually type in code it is stipped when i press save, and I'm kicked out to the home page.
Checked all the .js files, compared to the ones on the original server and the number of files and sizes are all the same.
Checked the browser error console and no error there.... ???

OK, I have just had the blog reinstalled on the server and still it strips the html code when i press 'save' in writing a post...
HELP...is there anything else I can try ?
just had the blog reinstalled
That wording confuses me, did you use some kind of automated installer service?
If that didn't work the first time, it's not going to work the second time. And who knows what files it may be missing through an automated installer? Install it yourself:

The answer here, BTW, is that no, WordPress does not strip HTML code from your posts. It can change HTML code, but IMG tags should go through untouched. Also, it definitely does not change the tags before saving them to the database, which is what you keep describing.

Hi, thanks for the response. I had my new hosting company transfer it from the old server to the new.
It is still removing any html code when i press 'save' ???
If i reinstall from scratch, and upload the database again, will i also need to upload all the images ? and will i need to reattach then to each individual post ?
Is there another possible reason for the removing of the html code? If all files have been directly copied across I cant see what the problem could be ?

issue resolved...
it was a Mod_Security issue on the server that the hosting company has now resolved.
