 * hello .. I have been having this problem for weeks and tried many solutions …
   they are as follows
    1. Tried resizing images using various methods .. use mostly
   optimised JPG files but have tried other kinds to see if it helps .. it doesn’t.
   2. I have added code to the hcaccess file namely codes recommended for if module
   security, i.e. turn off sec filter etc .. (various versions are written below)
   3. I have tried looking at the upload folder path to see if it is correct but
   cannot find this in wp 3.5.1.. 4. I tried installing other flash uploaders but
   that didnt work ..
 * I do not have any problems uploading images to widgets or the header.
    Occasionally
   the image does upload to the media library but only for a few goes than I get
   the http error in red again … and I cannot see why some work and some don’t …
 * I am a wordpress newbie and would really really appreciate simple language if
   you are kind enough to reply. I also am running the site in admin mode .. looking
   at it won’t tell you anything about the images ..
 * thanks for your help in advance ..
 * Code tried
 *     ```
