 * I am having trouble uploading images. I am planning on using Word Press to update
   our businesses web site performancedoctors.com. I have been working with for 
   a week now. It seems pretty easy but the main problem I am having is adding pictures.
   I keep getting ths following message. “Unable to create directory wp-content/
   uploads/2012/09. Is its parent directory writable by the server? I have tried
   different images and different ways to upload but I keep getting this message.
   Any help out there. [http://www.performancedoctors.com/blog/](http://www.performancedoctors.com/blog/)

 * Same problem. Trying these one by one fixed it for me. Found this from another
   user so beyond this idea I will be of no help to you. Hope this works!
 * Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still
   have problems, try 767, 775 or 777.

 * Also, make sure you recurse into all sub-directories.
