 * I’m sure this has been answered a million times, but I’m need of help ASAP. I
   can’t upload images and I get an error message everytime I try to upload images.
 * The blog I need help with is swagsyndicate.com.

 * Same here. This is really irritating, and either it gives me the 404 error theme.
   php is not found, or it says my IP is blocked. Checked with the host, and it 
   is not blocked. It is something in the current revision of WordPress, and I hope
   they get it fixed soon.

 * I contacted my host, and this is what they found out:
 * On checking the error logs I could see that the issue was due to the mod_security
   rules added on the server and you can verify it from the logs apsted below,

 * We have now whitelisted the domain from mod_security rules and this will resolve
   the wordpress issue.
 * This DID solve the problem.

 * I don’t know if I trust GoDaddy to handle something like this, they aren’t the
   brightest bunch
