    is AWESOME! I can paste screen shots (or regions of screen shots) directly into the post and everything is automatic!

    This does everything I want & need! I’ll stop looking for post by e-mail gizmos, or any other plugin or hack.

    Thanks so much for pointing me in this direction!

    Thanks so much for suggesting a weblog client. I never heard of such a thing and am researching this direction right now.

    Over lunch, I was looking at some other blogging software in hopes blog by email worked. Godaddy offers Nucleus blogging software free, pre-installed.

    Yes, I am using WordPress 2.04.

    I went to paint.net and the website is for an OEM coatings manufacturer (I guess I’m missing something).

    Even if I figure out the paint thing, it still sounds like it needs to be saved, browsed, located then ‘uploaded’.

    I’m about to create a different thread for a ‘plan-b: posting via e-mail. Please read it and let me know what you think.

    Thanks for your reply.

    One final thought to close the loop on this whole discussion.

    Just for fun, I renamed my blog folder on the folder, did a fresh install to a fresh, empty folder and this time DID NOT do the whole permissions thing. It worked fine. Interestingly, I used my original database config file and sure enough, my sample posts were there. I created a new database, and changed my config file, and sure enough, it walked me through the install. I think I’ll keep my second/fresh install done without changing permissions on the folders.

    Got it solved!

    My godaddy account was trashed, or sooo messed up, it just wouldn’t work. (It was originally windows/asp, running front page, then de-front-paged it, de-windows’d it and changed to php linux hosting, but still didn’t work.

    I noticed something about upgrade to 2.0 feature set, and I figured it would be best to cancel my hosting account, wait till it purged, then create a new one with today’s current defaults and settings. That solved it. I simply did the same install I must have tried 20 times, and it worked out of the box.

    So, sometimes, a completely fresh start is a good idea. BTW, my hosting account was many years old, so it might not have everything a freshly setup php account would have today.

    actually, I started from scratch, re-uploaded the entire wp to /blog , created a fresh database, and still get the “too many files open” error. (so it doesn’t have anything to do with changing themes, except the error occures when I navigate to the presentation themes page.

    Any ideas?

    Well, I picked a theme, and unzipped it under the themes subfolder, uploaded it via ftp, and when I clicked on presentation | themes,

    I got the stream of errors:
    Warning: file(/home/content/m/i/c/michaelz/html/blog/wp-content/themes/default/style.css): failed to open stream: Too many open files in /home/content/m/i/c/michaelz/html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1736

    Warning: implode(): Bad arguments. in /home/content/m/i/c/michaelz/html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 1736

    After I switched from ASP to linux hosting, I still had a problem connecting. I changed from localhost to:
    mysql151.secureserver.net

    and it worked!

    I just downloaded WP for use in my economy godaddy site.

    I called them and was told it won’t work with economy Windows, but I needed to convert my site to economy Linux. Tech support said in their windows environment, php only works in safe mode, or something like that. Anyway, I just switched platforms (which takes 24-48 hours). I’ll let you know what happens,
    Mike
