 * I am trying to upload a pic while in the Write Post screen. It appears to upload
   just fine, but when I send it to the Editor, it gives me a broken image symbol.
   When I “Browse” the pics, it shows up a blue square – no pic. I even tried uploading
   the image file directly into the upload folder via ftp and inserting a pic using
   the url – same thing.
 * I tried deactivating all plugins to see if there was some conflict, but that 
   didn’t change anything.
 * Any ideas what could be causing this?

 * Folder permissions? Hotlinking banned?
    An example to see?

 * Seems to have resolved itself. Working fine this morning. I have no idea why!
