 * I created a custom theme. Added a custom post type in functions.php which will
   allow users to upload multiple featured images to headers.php for my theme. My
   theme also contains an images directory wherein I want the uploaded images to
   go. Right now when I go to add a new header image, and click set featured image,
   and try to upload an image, I get this error:
 *  Unable to create directory /Users/johnmerlino/Documents/github/cms/wp-content/
   uploads/2012/06. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
 * It doesn’t seem to be uploading to right place.

 * I must have deleted the uploads directory by accident.
