   wp-content/uploads/2010/07.

 * [Set the permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions) of
   the `/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/` directory to 777. If you don’t have a `/wp-
   content/uploads/2010/07/` directory, set the permissions of `/wp-content/uploads/
   2010/` to 777. If you don’t have a `/wp-content/uploads/2010/` directory, set
   the permissions of `/wp-content/uploads/` to 777 and so on until you find one
   that works.

 * cool! thanks MacMan 🙂 worked a treat
    just trying to get the perma links working
   now, arrggh hate changing hosts, the theory of moving your site is so simple,
   but so tricky in reality
