 * This is probably the dumbest question on earth, but I have to ask…
    I am trying
   to install some plugins, and I keep seeing a reference to the “temp” or “tmp”
   folder…but I don’t see it anywhere on my server… What and where is this folder?
   I think I need to chmod it…do I have to create it? T

 * PLease, be more specific: what plugin, where do you see reference to temp etc.

 * A couple of them…
    um… AuthImage, and two others, I think. I saw comments referring
   to this folder and chmodding and etc. I don’t have any “temp” folders in the 
   directory is all…

 * Check the AuthImage instructions one more time. I believe that it tells you to
   create a temp directory (folder) and where to do so.

 * Nope…actually that wasn’t the problem at all, but knowing I need to create them
   will help me when I start on the other plugins…
    thanks!
