 * Here’s the error image I get when I try to UL an image:
 * Unable to create directory /home/hollakme/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads.
   Is its parent directory writable by the server?
    Back to Image Uploading
 * My server settings are DEFINTELY set for permission to write. My server host 
   IT department suggests that I’m missing files from the WP install but I’ve completely
   installed it on 2 separate occasions now.
 * I can’t sleep until I get this fixed!

 * I realize now that a 755 permission is not enough for WordPress to allow me to
   UL images to use in a post.
 * WordPress is so sensitive that it wants a full 777 permissions to UL images.
 * I’m new to WP, but I understand that there are probably millions of WP bloggers
   out there.
 * Is 777 to an ULs folder really that acceptable in the WP community or is there
   another way to UL images that this community has discovered and is using?
