 * Have you asked your hosts if they have disabled the timthumb script for security
   reasons?

 * You do not have a source image specified. Enter the source url after the timthumb.
   php?src=”
 * Yours should look thus:
    `http://sharonlnash.com/wp-content/themes/parallelus-
   unite/includes/timthumb.php?src=http://sharonlnash.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/
   12/My-Name.png&h=150&w=150&a=c&q=90`
 * where
    &h=150 is the pre-set height &w=150 is the pre-set width &a=c tells timthumb
   to crop from the center &q=90 tells timthumb to use a quality factor of 90
 * But you’re right, it ain’t workin’. I’m guessing the cache folder is not writeble.
   Make sure you have a cache folder in the timthumb.php directory and then play
   around with the folder permissions until you get it to work.
 * I’ll be around for the next hour if you want to send me your ftp credentials 
   and let me troubleshoot it. No promises thought!
