 * I am new to Wrod Press. Every time I try to upload a header I receive:
    Unable
   to create directory /home/xxxxx/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08. 
   Is its parent directory writable by the server? what am I doing incorrectly?

 * Hi,
 * Make this folder writable
    /home/xxxxx/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/
 * Put the value 755 for permissions of this folder

 * Change the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have 
   problems, try 767 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions
   on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

 * It’s in the folder where you installed WordPress on your hosting package/domain.
