 * I have suddenly encountered problems uploading photos to my blog – I have not
   had problems before, haven’t changed anything on the camera and photos from camera
   load onto my computer OK. I’ve tried inserting directly into the blog using both
   browser and flash uploader and also storing in the media library.
    I get this
   message: The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/vhosts/greengardendesign.
   co.uk/httpdocs/blog/wp-content/uploads. Help please! I’m a complete technophobe
   so please reply in non techno language! thanks

 * `/wp-content/uploads`
    chmod both of these folders to 777 do an upload if works,
   chmod back to 755 should work ok now [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)
