    On the WP Super Cache page there is a warning in red that says:

    Warning! /home/AccountName/public_html/wp-content is writeable!

    I an running 775 permissions with AccountUserName as the user and apache as the group.

    Doesn't the wp-content directory need to be writeable by apache?

    How can I remove the error?

    It's generally a bad idea if the web server can write to that directory but it looks like you can't change that. Ignore the error message. :(

    If the server cannot write to that directory then how are uploads and theme additions handled? What account is WP using to do these functions?

    Uploads go in a different directory. Themes are uploaded using your ftp login, which should normally be a completely different user to the user that runs the webserver.
