Thanks for visiting! See you again Soon!!!
I am starting to get frustrated.
Everyone online is saying how great the new Wordpress uploader is, and all the stuff you can do and all of the media that you can easily integrate into you blog. Well I am here to tell you that it is all hog-wash. Well maybe only a little.
For those of you using a lot of images in your post, the image uploader has been completely overhauled as well. Namely, you can uplopad and insert multiple images at once via a new Flash-based uploader. This will gracefully fallback to the original uploader if Flash is not installed, so never fear. There is now a new “Add Media” link in the header of the post window that handles all this now. For those of you who want to debate the philosophical decision to include closed source Flash into open source, and GPL’ed WordPress, knock yourself out.
10 Things You Need to Know About WordPress 2.5
I can’t get it to work.
All I get are errors, and I don’t know how to fix it. I have tried a couple of different plugins that claim to fix it, but no luck. What I really want is the ability to upload me image to the directory, and then resize it on the fly. Simply using HTML to resize the image is no good.
So my solution is to use my Flickr Account. I already have a pro account, so that is not a huge deal, but it just adds another way for visitors to leave since you have to link to the image that you are shows according to the Flickr TOS.
So I am crying out to all of my readers. Please HELP ME!!! I will give anyone that helps a month of free advertising space. Hell I will give you a total of 2 months of free space, either one 125×125 banner for one month or two banners for one month.
Make a comment if you think that you can help 
::UPDATE::
My “new” buddy Ryan has fixed my problem for me, and it was VERY simple. And for proof see the latest pic to my media gallery.

Hi Jeff,
I don’t think I have enough tech savvy to help you but are you a member of the Warrior Forum, if not, why not LOL - get over there and ask the members if they have had this problem and if they have any solutions - they have helped me so much with my blogs.. might be worth a shot.
Here’s the link http://www.warriorforum.com

Thanks,
I will give that a try tonight. Hopefully there will be someone there that can help me out.
Try a couple of things.
Add this code to your .htaccess file your root blog directory:
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
If that doesn’t work, try CHMOD 666 or 777 on your blog upload folder.
By the way, nice blog. I designed this theme and you’ve done the best job customizing it that I’ve seen.
Cheers!
Thanks for the help….and the theme. I never had a chance to check out that other forum to see if there was anyone there to help.
I have used your suggestion and it WORKS. Thanks for great help and awesome theme.
Glad I could help. I had the same issue and it’s frustrating as hell. You would have thought it would have been addressed before the WP release, but hey, what are you going to do. WP is still the best damn free software out there IMHO.
Oh yeah, if you ever want to customize your blog graphics-wise, just drop me an email. I can send you the Fireworks file all sliced up and ready to export.
