 * I’m prety certain this is a permissions issue. A while back i chmodded everything
   to 644 and then set folders to 755. WordPress or my host didn’t like that very
   much because some things wouldn’t work properly.
 * I eventaully fixed it but now i am having a problem with using embed codes from
   video sites. They will not display at all, there will just be a blank white space
   there. I tried installing a video mod after, still, same problem. I noticed that
   on that video mod, there is a button that is supposed to drop down some text 
   but it doesn’t work, another sign of bad permissions?
 * I’m lost.. Please help.
