 * Ok – I’ve tried everything I’ve found so far, but nothing has worked. I’ve checked
   the file name for storing uploads (reads wp-content/uploads) now. I’ve checked
   the permissions – now at 755 and I’m still getting the following error.
 * Unable to create directory /home/username/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/
   2010/02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
 * I’m not certain how to fix this using WP or cPanelX, but all help is appreciated.
   I’m currently running the newest version of wordpress and have a theme installed.
 * Thanks

 * If I uncheck the categorize in month/date box I get the following error…
 * The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/alic/public_html/blog/wp-content/
   uploads.
