 * When I write a new blogg-post I get an error:
 * _“Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted
    (tried to allocate
   280966 bytes) in C:/Program/wamp/www/wordpress/wp-includes/cache.php on line 
   48″
 * How do I solve this?
 * I’m using WAMP5 1.7.2 as webserver.

 * Not enough memory allocated to PHP.
 * setting php.ini to something like the two examples below solves the problem in
   many cases:
    `memory_limit = 16M` or `memory_limit = 32M`
 * You might have to check the WAMP documentation for more help on this subject.

 * Place this code in you .htaccess file
 * <FilesMatch “\.(php|html?)$”>
    php_value memory_limit 16M </FilesMatch>
 * Please check with your host first and also check how much memory you may ad my
   host allows 32mb which makes the site so much faster.
