 * I sure hope someone can help me figure this out. I’ve spent days on it with no
   success at all. Frankly, I just can’t mess with it anymore. It’s either get it
   working or just get rid of WP.
 * I have pages where I have links to photographs. The photographs are all stored
   in a “/photos” directory. If I click on the link from the WP page or post, I 
   get a “not found” error. But if I just open a new tab or window and paste the
   URL to the photo — voila! The photo comes up just as it should. I get this with
   IE, Google Chrome and FF. (I was really hoping it was some kind of weird browser
   issue.)
 * I don’t understand why this is happening *now.* This site has been active for
   at least a year with everything working fine. I’m at a total loss to figure out
   what’s changed. As a matter of fact, I was getting ready to upgrade to 3.0.1 
   when I found that this was going on, and figured I better fix *that* before messing
   with anything else.
 * I seem to remember reading somewhere about perma-links and problems with directories
   and such, but can find nothing on it now. And I haven’t changed anything with
   that. I am using the same “month and name” perma-links that I’ve always used 
   on this blog.

 * Thanks, Doc. Apparently hotlink protection had been enabled. Hitting “submit”
   always does the trick. 🙂
 * Thanks!
