 * I usually install my own WordPress on servers, but I am working with a private
   host (client’s choice) who preferred to do it themselves. I’ve uploaded images
   to the media library, and can see them there. However, when I try to link to 
   them, either for a header, background, or in a page, I get a broken link, and
   the images do not show up on the site. The URLs are correct, so I can’t understand
   why. Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be wrong? Communication with
   the private host is slow….

 * Turns out when WordPress was installed, the file permissions weren’t set correctly.
