 * I do not know what temp folder you’re referring to. The current image on that
   blog is here:

   What you can easily do is upload a **110px x 110px ** replacement also named **
   blogphoto.png** to your theme’s **images **folder like so: /wp-content/themes/
   inanis_glass/images/

 * I suffered from this for several days. There are loads of messages about this
   all over the forums. There seem to be two fixes.
 * 1 Insert a temporary folder. I cannot now find the message that suggested the
   location, but you will find it if you search. The problem lots of people seem
   to have had is that they do not have access to the file structure through their
   ISP. I copied and pasted a message to my ISP, they inserted a TMP file and the
   problem disappeared.
 * 2 I am amazed that no-one has suggested the alternative as a workaround. Just
   locate the image in your web directory (upload it first if needed with any ftp
   program) then manually insert an html href tag to point to it. That’s all the
   insert image button does. Of course, you need a separate ftp program, but there
   are several free alternatives and it’s a useful thing to have. You can easily
   find the structure of the href tag by searching on the web. Once you have it 
   you can copy and paste for all future images.
 * I hope this helps.
