 * Excuse my ignorance but just need to clarify.
 * When setting up multisite is the blogs directory to be created called ‘blogs’
   or ‘blogs.dir’???
 * Thanks for any help

 * Huh, never gave it any thought. On my setup, the directory created was `blogs.
   dir`.

 * Yes, maybe it gets automatically created if you don’t create it yourself, but
   from the codex steps to create a network:
 * > 1. Create a blogs.dir directory under /wp-content/
   >  This directory is used 
   > to store uploaded media for your additional sites and must be writable by the
   > web server. They should be CHOWNed and CHMODed the same as your wp-content 
   > directory.

 * I created a blogs.dir file, and it has the same read/ write access as my wp-content
   folder. Files are being stored appropriately, but my site is showing it as a 
   broken link. It shows it as a broken link for all child sites. Any thoughts on
   how I can fix this?
