 * HI All,
 * I am very new to WP, and trying to get the whole thing to work.
    I am trying 
   to get NEXTGEN installed on a domain. I have uploaded WP 2.7.1, and NEXTGEN. 
   But I don’t seem to be able to change the permissions on the folders at my host,
   so resorting to using ftp to upload photos. Well I can chmod the folders and 
   stuff via ftp but still get errors when I try to upload photos.
 * With regards to NEXTGEN gallery, where do you put the photos and thumbnails? 
   Do they have their own folders? I have uploaded the plugin and also the rotator.
   swf, I am totally confused. I might desert the whole image thing actually…..
 * Sorry for the rudimentary questions.
 * Andy
