 * When I try to upload an image less than 65m, I get this message:
    Fatal error:
   Out of memory (allocated 69206016) (tried to allocate 17152 bytes) in /home/peggyb/
   public_html/wp-includes/media.php on line 254
 * I am unable to upload any image.

 * This is most likely caused by the memory limit your host has placed on uploads
   to your site. This is not always (but often) related to the size of your file.
 * There are a few workarounds you can try (here’s an [example of the common ones](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/253495#post-1017842))
   but in the end, you’re probably better off contacting your hosting provider directly,
   and asking them to increase your memory limits.
 * You may have to do this a few times before you get success. Try asking them to
   increase your limit to 64M or 96M to start out.
 * Best of luck!
