 * I am getting this error from WPSC:
 * > Warning! /home/its/public_html/ is writable. Please make it readonly after 
   > your page is generated as this is a security risk.
 * I’ve read some other threads on this but I’m not seeing a policy statement of
   any sort… The directory is 750 and it is shared hosting via a reseller account
   on HostGator.
 * I think I do not have to do anything and I can ignore the message. Am I correct?
 * Thanks in advance!!

 * Don’t worry about it, it’s probably fine. I tightened up the permission checking
   in the development version.
