 * I was successful in uploading and installing wordpress v2.1.1.
 * When I tried to import my old xml files from wordpress, the control panel gave
   me this:
 * Import WordPress
    Sorry, there has been an error.
 * **Unable to create directory /home/atheista/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2007/
   02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?**
 * Please help. I’ve literally struggled through this all night long and I just 
   want to get this over with. thanks a lot in advance.
