 * I am unable to upload files to wp-content. I have chmoded 777.
    I get this error
   message: It doesn’t look like you can use the file upload feature at this time
   because the directory you have specified (/home/huasqagm/public_html/wp-content)
   doesn’t appear to be writable by WordPress. Check the permissions on the directory
   and for typos. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

 * Try a different directory ?
    Make one called ‘pictures’ and chmod that to 777?
   Is there an extra space in the filename above – at the end ?
