 * When using the add media link; I select an image, then hit uploadm, I get an “
   HTTP error” and then under the “crunching” progress bar, this message:
 * An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.
 * Any ideas why?

 * Check that you have the enough permission to upload to your host/server.

 * Currently permissions are set to 755 on the uploads folder. And it worked earlier
   with my first photo.

 * I am also having a problem with this. I made my entire wp-content folder and 
   everything in it permission 777 to be certain it was not a permissions problem.
